Overview

In-game description
A tape that you can record audio on to using a Cassette Recorder. Stores up to 20s of audio.

Twenty seconds feels short until you try to fill it. It holds a message with content: who lives here, that the shop is round the back, that you buy cloth and pay in scrap. A short cassette cuts that off halfway.

The neat use is an answering machine at the front door. Record the speech on the cassette recorder, slot the tape into a boom box beside the entrance and hit play when someone knocks. The fresh spawn on your doorstep hears all of it, and you never open a door.

No bench needed, and one batch makes three. A full jingle or a long price list wants the extra ten seconds of the long cassette. Beyond that the tape does nothing: it is decor you can hear.
