This VHS-Style Survival Horror Is Set in Diverse Cinematic Worlds

Take a look at Dead Format, a newly released VHS-style survival horror from a solo developer Katanalevy.

In the story, set in 1990s Scotland, you play as a sibling looking for your brother, lost in the cinematic world of VHS tapes. You travel across legendary film eras, tracing him there and uncovering the scary truth why the government wants to ban a mysterious tape, "Video Ghastlies."

Reminiscent of retro horror movies, the game is inspired by Silent Era Cinema, Italian Giallo films, and 80s body horror.

In the game, you solve puzzles, arm yourself with weapons inspired by the film worlds, along with the world's own enemies and unique areas to explore, and return to your apartment, which has become your hub, where you review clues, catch your breath, and prepare to continue your journey.

The game creator Chris Evry, known under the name of Katanalevy, who also crafted Cardiac, Symphony of Seven Souls, and Daemonologie, is a Scottish solo developer, focusing on creating games that combine darkly visceral and gothic sublime.
