About the Game

From the creators of VHS> Vermin

VHS> Freaks is a brutal, arcade-style survival horror shooter inspired by the tension, gore, and grime of classic 80s B-movies.

Limited ammo survival gameplay

  • Ammo is scarce.

  • Easy escape is impossible.

  • Your only option is to annihilate everything that moves.

Part of the VHS Horror Series

Fight through three standalone horror “movie” segments, connected by a twisted wrap-around trailer park town. Each chapter delivers its own grotesque scenario, relentless enemy swarms, and escalating panic.
This is fast, old-school horror action — no mercy, no hand-holding, no safe spaces.

SURVIVE THE NIGHT

Blast your way through waves of mutated freaks and abominations using limited ammo, quick reflexes, and pure aggression. Every shadow hides something vile — hesitation means death.
