Recordin' Dustries
A downloadable game for Windows
Ya just wanted to play some video games, buuut the lights aren't going to stay on by themselves. Suppose you should pay those off before things get even worse. So you pick up the first thing you see, something about cleaning an ol' recording studio and something about a 'special guest'. Job's a job and you just want to get back to upgrading your gear, so this will have to do.
Maybe you should have paid a lil' more attention to the details...
Welcome to Recordin' Dustries! A Totally Free 90° Mascot Horror Comedy!
Mascot Horror requires a memorable mascot. Thankfully our Guest has seen no shortage of action during his impressively long career and his personality is a perfect fit for this exact type of gameplay. Don't worry, he'll be gentle -_^
Unless...?
Replayability
One of the biggest goals was keeping things new and exciting, so there's plenty inside to surprise you. More will be added in the future, but there's a shockingly healthy amount already present.
Voice Acting
With hours of recorded dialog, learn the lore of our Guest organically while playing the game. Which is handy as ya might be low on time...
Multiple Endings
From goofy to genuine, each are fully voice-acted and 'the big ones' are animated!
No load screens
While our Guest may be from beyond the Field of Stars, we left the load screens in the Dark Void where they belong.
Music
In keeping with the 90° aesthetic, the music tracks has been mixed to run at 90bpm.
Square Screen Mode
Aaand I might have added the option to play the game with a square resolution for giggles.
Directional Audio
Just like it sounds (ha!) you'll be able to locate things entirely with your ears, from distant sound effects to someone nearly breathing down your neck. Some will find this helpful and informative, others will be immersed and petrified. I'm happy with both outcomes ^_^ Headphones are more precise than speakers, but either option works.
System Requirements
64-bit Windows systems should run it fine. My system is goin' on ten years old and it runs smooth, but just in case, there are multiple resolution options so even toasters should be able to play it.
Controls
- WASD to Move
- Shift to Run
- Ctrl to Crouch
- Left/Right Mouse to Interact

Install instructions
Download, unzip, open the folder and double-click the duck! If you have issues or get a pop-up saying you need some missing files, run the included UE4PrereqSetup and you'll be good to go! (Windows 11 may ask if you want them to download it for you, but that loaded endlessly when I tried it and I had to run the PrereqSetup instead.)
Also I turned the sound down to 60% on a fresh install, so feel free to crank that bad boy up to whatever you are comfortable with in the in-game Options menu.
Troubleshooting
If you hear music, but have a black screen: hold Alt and press Enter. That'll pop ya into Windowed mode and everything should work A-Okay.
If while turning around you see weird glitchy brick patterns, that's probably 'screen tearing'. If that happens, Esc back to the Main Menu and try different settings (Fullscreen, Windowed, Fullscreen Windowed, Sync on or Off) until they go away. Fullscreen tends to do the trick.
