About the Game


When a call comes into 911 regarding an abandoned house containing old VHS tapes of some horrifying footage, detectives are sent to investigate. This is where YOU come into play, you will experience the tapes through the eyes of the recorder. Experience true fear in this first person point of view game, where you will experience some unworldly demons, and do whatever it takes to escape. A truly horrific experience that will test your ability to think under intense pressure.


With a variety of levels to experience and more being added regularly during our free updates, you will be tasked with traversing dark and challenging levels where you must complete a task to escape. Dark rooms, dead ends and many corners and stairs you could be lost if you aren't paying attention. The demons will find you, so think and move fast!


You have seconds to plan and act, with our smart entities they are searching for you, and will not rest until they find and kill you. Wander with fear as you hear their horrific screams in the distance before they finally have you in their site. Each entity brings a different challenge, so be ready to change up your tactics on each level you experience.


During the lifetime of the game, we will be offering constant and free updates, with new levels, features, fixes, changes and more! We want to build up VHS to be a fun and exciting game that will always have something new to offer frequently. New features will be introduced during major patches as well, with plans to implement co-op modes!
