About TELEFORUM
TELEFORUM is an indie adventure where you play a reporter interviewing a grieving widow after a tragic live broadcast. The game uses an analog VHS visual style that mimics found‑footage horror, creating a tense atmosphere as you search for the truth behind a mysterious tape. It is a single‑player experience available on Windows and macOS, with partial controller support and family sharing enabled.
01 / THE GUIDE
Analog VHS Visual Style
The game presents its world through an analog VHS aesthetic, giving the screen a grainy, low‑fidelity look that evokes classic horror found‑footage. This visual approach is central to the mood, making every scene feel like a recovered recording.
The VHS style also influences lighting and color, with muted tones and occasional tracking errors that reinforce the sense of uncovering something hidden. Players experience the narrative through this deliberately degraded lens.
- Observe static and tracking glitches; they often hint at narrative beats.
- Compare scenes for recurring visual motifs that may signal hidden clues.
02 / THE GUIDE
Interviewing the Widow
As the reporter, you conduct a conversation with the widow, balancing the pursuit of answers with the risk of pushing her too far. Dialogue choices affect the tone of the interview and can influence the story’s direction.
The interview system requires you to listen and respond, creating a tension between empathy and investigation. Your approach shapes how much information you can extract from her.
- Maintain a calm tone to keep the interview flowing.
- Notice her emotional cues; they can guide which questions to prioritize.

Exploring the Apartment
Playing as the cameraman, you move through the widow’s apartment to locate evidence about the tape. Exploration is free‑form, allowing you to examine objects and rooms at your own pace.
Each area may contain visual or audio clues that deepen the mystery. The environment itself becomes a storytelling device, revealing details without explicit narration.
- Check every corner; subtle items often hold narrative weight.
- Use the camera’s perspective to notice details that might be missed in static shots.
04 / THE GUIDE
Multiple Endings
The game features several possible conclusions based on the information you gather and the choices you make during the interview and exploration. Each ending reveals a different facet of the tape’s story.
Your decisions shape whether the truth is fully uncovered, partially hidden, or left ambiguous, encouraging replay to see alternate outcomes.
- Experiment with different interview approaches to see how endings shift.
- Re‑visit unexplored rooms in subsequent playthroughs for new clues.

Platform and Controller Support
TELEFORUM runs on Windows and macOS, offering partial controller support for players who prefer gamepad input. The game also supports family sharing, allowing multiple accounts to access the same purchase.
While controller input is available, the game does not require it exclusively, and other input methods remain functional.
- Try both keyboard/mouse and controller to see which feels more natural for interview timing.
- Use family sharing to let a friend experience the game without a separate purchase.
