- What would you do if you could see the dead? In Cursed Digicam, the latest psychological horror masterpiece from Chilla’s Art, we follow the heartbreaking journey of a grieving father using a mysterious camera to connect with his lost daughter. But as the photos reveal eerie truths and the haunting intensifies, the line between love and obsession begins to blur.
Join me as I uncover the dark secrets behind this cursed camera and its connection to a chilling mystery. With every snapshot, the truth edges closer-and it’s far more terrifying than anyone could imagine.

Dang Swol, you went *True Detective* mode at the end.
I was on the case, still alot of loose ends but at least I can sleep at night 😂
The story follows a father looking for his lost daughter's soul, Mitsuka. After suddenly passing away in the park an unspecified amount of time before the start of the game, our protagonist is guilt-ridden and tormented by the loss. He feels an urge to find her soul and free it. But how? Finding a strange website that promises liberation to any lingering spirits, he receives a camera created by a medium. This gives us the core objective of Cursed Digicam: Take 15 photos of a spirit to receive a message from them. The gameplay unfolds at the local park, where Mitsuka was last seen alive. Looking for answers and a means to free her from purgatory, our protagonist sets out to the park, greeted by the paranormal, those desperately trying to cling to life as they’re trapped at the place of their death. But will we find Mitsuka so easily? Mitsuka died at home, and the protagonist tried to replace her by kidnapping Manami (the girl we take pictures of in the park). Her image couldn’t be taken nor her soul liberated, as she died over 13 days ago. Therefore, the camera wouldn’t work on capturing her image. What we believe happened was that Mitsuka went to the park on her own, playing with her imaginary friend in the form of the mouse plushie. She went on the slide and fell, hitting her head on the ground. She tried calling her father for help, telling him her head hurt when she got home, but he didn’t take this seriously enough because of his work schedule. Mitsuka succumbed to the brain trauma, collapsed, and died (likely from swelling). His reasons for killing the other girl are unknown, but based on the opening, we interpret that he tried to replace Mitsuka with Manami. But the guilt could never go away. He couldn’t take the constant reminder as Manami walked around the house in Mitsuka’s pajamas and stayed in her bedroom with his deceased daughter’s name on the door. As he already kidnapped her, he felt trapped, his only option (in his tormented mind) was to drown Manami and cut her body up, disposing of pieces of her into trash bags.
Yea… but that doesn’t explain the other girl and so much more lol
This is what you want on a freezing cold foggy night, a cosy warm blanket with a mug of tea and delicious snacks and swol playing horror love binge watching your videos thank you for yet another fantastic upload we are getting treated keep up the amazing content 😊😊
I think the daughter actually got a serious head injury in the bathtub while being at home alone (which apparently happened often as dad worked a lot) and this happened a very long time ago. So she in her final moments walked to the phone, called dad and probably got his voicemail, passed out and eventually died by the phone and dad gets home to find her body later. Then years later he's basically a crazy person, kidnaps the girl at the playground and forces her to be his daughter eventually killing her in the bedroom (she probably wouldn't cooperate with being the daughter). Now both spirits haunt him but the daughters spirit won't rest until he gets turned in. In reality he probably turned himself in and it wasn't the ghost at all. Then he took a Russian vacation out the window.
This. I feel like this is the most feasible theory. And he likely dressed as the Temu Mickey Mouse in order to lure the other girl away from the park.
this theory makes the most sense to me
When it got dark, I kept imagining the little girl hanging from the tree, staring down at you. It was so terrifying. Nice video 👍 👍
I have a theory!! 😭
1. The girls were being kidnapped by a stranger dressed as their favourite "toy mascot".
2. Kindnapper tried to take his daughter but she hurt her head (somehow, maybe fell off that hill?) and ran home (apartment window facing park).
3. She ran home and called dad ("when are you coming home? My head hurts")
4. She then tried to wash off the blood (coming out the bath) but didn't feel well.
5. Called the police to make a report but passed out.
6. Dad got home and saw her collapsed in the house, assumes she's dead from all the blood, police on their way, knew he'd get blamed for it ("most games the dad is the perp").
7. Ended his own life, no evidence it was the kidnapper because she went home, and she didnt get to say anything to the police.
8. She wasn't dead, she saw her dad jump and jumped after him
I hope this is close enough, but it makes sense.
I think the story was lost in translation. My explanation would be the daughter received a head injury on the playground. She returns home dad still at work. She gets ready for bed to try feeling better. But the pain gets worse she calls the dad but he's to busy to listen. When he does come home she's already dead. He is overcome by grief to the point of insanity. He visits the park often and one day sees a girl who, to him, looks like his daughter. He kidnapps her and kills her father when confronted. She later dies of some unknown cause but calls the police. Maybe he killed her when he found out. Regardless he's overcome with guilt and jumps off the balcony. Now he spends an eternity reliving his daughters death followed by demons or evil spirits taking form of the daughter and her favorite character. Which the kidnapped girl may have ripped the head off of the doll. His hell starts over Everytime he jumps. But idk just an imaginative guess lol
I guess it’s a choose your own narrative game lol
Lol makes sense 🤣
Love your commentary. I was cackling! I got confused at the end too lol
Hopefully I was able to piece something together that made enough sense
Glad to see you play this! Chillas art games never disappoint.
Im always screaming at my screen when you dont see stuff that i see 😂 haha like DAMN SWOL LOOOOK
🫣🫣🫣
Hell yes, Swol and chillas art again ❤️ i still remember the bathhouse stream 😂
We don’t talk about bathhouse 😂
1:13:55
Idk if u got it quite right bc I just got to the discussion part of ur vid but...
A lot of the Chills Art games get lost in translation or stuff we don't realize abt the culture, I feel.
The "mickey mouse" character is a mascot, they Love them there & all the kids have a fav. The whole game showz u looking for answers abt ur dead daughter, why would u do that if u knew u had killed her? Also when the cut scene shows the dad rushing in asking the daughter if she's ok, shows how much u care abt her.
👻My interpretation of the game is this:
⁉️Ur character interrupted the mascot, who hung around the park (pics of him all over) to kidnap girls (like the other missing one), after he had hit ur daughter on the head to knock her out & kidnap her. As explained with the boss fight with the mascot & the chainsaw, but he eventually gets u. He's the one who runs the website with the spirit cameras: all the pics of ur daughter wit the mascot doll that showed up on the computer.
⁉️He gets the daughter's spirit to say words she used in the phone call to u to come home, to get the police to show up to arrest u to take the fall for the missing girl & ur daughters murder. So u run around the house to figure out what to do but eventually u jump (ur daughter who loves u follows) & become just another spirit he can control on the website wit the spirit cameras!! ⁉️Ta Da🪄, I believe 🤔.
The girl was projected onto the mountain. I saw it when it was lighter outside. You had gotten it but not fully so you missed it.
Good spot
Come on another swoll plays, always makes me happy seeing a new video you put on your channel or new stream keen to see this as I missed the stream for it ❤🎉
More Chillas Art baby. These games just get better and better everytime
Hope you got to finish the video lol
@@SWOLPLAYS SWOL plot story time haha. As soon as the park ended story kinda started losing me lol. definitely out there
Time to look it up😂
44:12 you can see her eyes through the trees i guess or my mind is gone crazy, 54:56 u can see her behind the glass door her hands and her face , GOD thats soooo creepy
So happy you posted so i can watch this before i sleep, love the vids ❤️
Enjoy!
Wow, where are you that you’re about to go to sleep? Or do you work nights?
@@Sgtviolence Australia 🇦🇺
All I can see when you’re trying to figure things out at the end is Charlie working in the mailroom in IASIP lol
This was a good game, I wish the story was explained a bit better, I feel like a compelling story is there but just too muddled.
That old lady and mouse guy were terrifying, so creepy when you’d put the camera down and they were still there 😬
I may have cut it out of the video, but during the discussion on twitch i definitely referenced that episode of sunny and even talked about getting an evidence bored to connect all the dots lol
Man good thing someone takes the time to write all these numbers in horror games
It’s the same guy that paints everything yellow in resident evil games so you know what to climb on.
Loved the hypothesis!!
Got to love how you made your own back story
I don’t think we necessarily made our own backstory, but more so tried to make sense out of the story and connect the dots with what was presented to us. There’s still alot of loose ends but I think we’re close enough
2:14 get the camera out of my f-ing face you never fail to make me laugh swol
I'm feeling so happy to be able to watch such early your video concern to this game
It's funny how he didn't see the little girl through the door😂
I’m old and I need glasses
@@SWOLPLAYS oh c'mon you're not ❤😂
Hey SWOL. I love the videos. The longer ones do take me some time to get watch the whole video. Takes a few sessions. Also are you cutting. Looking extra ripped these days. 👍
I did cut. Did 2 separate cuts in 2024, dropped 60 pounds total and got down to 6% bodyfat. Thanks for noticing!
I think some of the hints in the playground were only valid during the daytime. I think they should have a message on the phone that indicates you missed it instead of still keeping the clue.
I thought the same
Woooo. Let's go
I mean like it was a good video ofc but scary af especially the chase in the house with the mickey mouse character
You didn’t even watch it did you
@@rileymather4560 why do you think that?
@@rileymather4560 is it caus i accidentally said house instead of apartment?
To make it easier for everyone else u input numbers into the phone for hints
Whoa whoa whoa spoilers! Jk
Lol his jump scare reactions are the best
❤️💪🏼
Also some hints may only work at certain times of day ect like the one u took of the kids would not work after the announcement of them to go home i believe
I love SWOL introducing me to horror games I would’ve never known existed
That’s what I love about the genre, there’s never a shortage of new games to play. I can’t promise they’ll all be good, but there’s always something new lol
What you said at the end is The best ending i could think of
Still some loose ends but that’s what I’m going with lol
I feel like a lot of Chilla's games have an issue with clarity. Great atmospheres, but not always clear what's supposed to be going on in the narrative.
I definitely feel like we cracked the code with that discussion at the end. But it took AWHILE to get there. I edited down but I think the conversation was 30 minutes of discussing possible scenarios
@@SWOLPLAYS Yeah, my interpretation after some time was: the dad was busy with work or whatever, the daughter phoned him complaining about her headaches, he came home to find she'd collapsed and died. Maybe he hid the body in water? Then he kidnapped the other girl to try to "replace" or make her into his daughter, including giving her the weird Disney doll, she refused, so he killed her and destroyed her body (with a chainsaw?) and then she began haunting him. I couldn't figure out who the demon woman was though.
Just when I thought I had the plot figured out… I remembered a detail and it ruined the whole thing 🤦♀️😂 Well, at least the gameplay was fun to watch!
So swol has some knowledge on what happened the person your playing as mitsuke died at home and the day kidnapped manami at the park to try to replace her
Hopefully this game actually works
Horror games with children are extra creepy 💀
Are you going to play The kidnapping by them?
About the school and the clown? Already did
@ oh I didnt know welp I have more to watch now
And like earlier the ball was in the jungle gym sitting there and thats when u do it before gets kicked around the directons of what ur supposed to do was in phone booth the top screen i think u click on it sad doesn't tell u right away
I loaded back in yesterday to work on a thumbnail and I ended up doing that one cuz I was curious. When I tried to do it in game, the ball was no longer there
temu Mickey Mouse is so off putting😭😭
This is off topic, but if I was to write a gears of war movie, you’d get the role of Baird.
Ya know, I’ve never played gears of war. I’ll have to look that up
@ oh dude. You’re def Baird. Check it out.
@SWOLPLAYS whaaaaat?! It's Hella fun,man.cool storyline!
@@absurdhero144 yeah but only play 1-3. 4 was ok, but 5 is just a political propaganda machine. I like video games because I can escape reality for a couple hours a day.
I'm starting with 9:00. The report you get at 1:05:19 is the missing girl that they announce at 9:00. At 45:28, you see the camera quality signifying that it's you. Later in the game, when you have the camera up, you see that missing girl, but in reality, if you put it down, she is one, gone, or two, you see your daughter. When she is gone, it's because she is dead or not really there at all, and when she's there, it's showing that she is alive and you have her hostage or something. AT 45:28 when you are showing the pictures into the app thing, you enter the pictures of the missing child and get the video of what I think is you kidnapping her. I think you kidnap her because on the announcements at 12:23 its her saying "we often go to the neighborhood park" signaling that at the park when your in the camera it's actually your kid. I can back this up by saying from 1:07:14 - 1:07:55 its the missing girl. From 1:07:57 - 1:09:02 its the daughter. I dont translate what she says to make sense but I believe that games obviously made in other country's aren't as easy to send a message with. That's all i say about who got killed and stuff!
Appreciate the breakdown with timestamps!
Ok I haven’t watched all of this but I’m starting hit guess now that it’s the father who killed his daughter.
😑
@@SWOLPLAYSjust got to the 48 minute mark and you stated what I suspected. The conclusion will be interesting
@ haha I knew based on what you said that you hadn’t gotten to the part where I said exactly that. I didn’t say anything cuz I wanted you to hear it for yourself 😂
This game's ending was very confusing
I tried so hard to break it down but there’s still questions unanswered
Me wandering how she got in the backpack haha😂
I think that’s the least of our worries
@SWOLPLAYS haha you're right lol
Hahah ill meet you at midnight
👻
The game is completely poorly optimized. It consumes 99% of the poor RTX 3070 and fps drops below 60, even with DLSS turned on and even reducing all graphic quality to the lowest possible level.
Luckily I had no issues with this game however, the bath house was a completely different story.
