Dead Format

Dead Format leans into found-footage horror through an era-specific lens. You're hunting your missing brother through 1990s Scotland by exploring VHS tapes tied to something called Video Ghastlies, a format powerful enough to attract government censorship. The conceit is clever: horror filtered through analog video corruption, limited visibility, and the tactile weirdness of physical media. If you're chasing atmosphere over action, the period setting and tape-based structure have real potential. The catch is scope. This is a solo project with lean resources, so don't expect AAA production values or cinematic storytelling polish. It's built for players who find genuine creepiness in lo-fi presentation and are comfortable with a smaller, rougher experience. Controller support is included, which helps with immersion. The real question is whether the central VHS-horror premise sustains for the runtime, and on a title this obscure, that's something you're betting on.
