A 5-minute VHS-style experience set in a creepy, macabre house. Short flashes of time change the perspective of the scene and give clues as to what is happening.

There are distant references to the horrific case of Ricardo López and also inspirations from the game the static speaks my name, which by the way, is incredible.

For those who are upset about the game time, understand that this is written prominently in the store, and it is a free game. Furthermore, the developer is working on their next game, called "December 2000" which will certainly be longer.

"SEPTEMBER 1999" is not really a game, it's just a short ~5m "experience" where you look at some stuff with a lame VR filter over it and creepy noises happen. That's it, that's really all there is to this. It might as well be a Youtube video.

This is only free in a rudimentary sense... the developer has their hand out for a $2 USD "donation" for this as you're expected to buy some extra DLC from Steam... digital panhandling. Like the homeless guys who splash dirty water on your windscreen at the traffic lights. No thanks.

Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it.

Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it?

Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.
