About Dead Format

Dead Format is a survival horror game set in 1990s Scotland that plunges players into a chilling quest to find a missing brother last seen obsessed with a mysterious and cursed VHS format. As the desperate sibling, you explore nightmarish, cinematic worlds accessed through VHS tapes in your apartment, which serves as your safe haven. Insert tapes into the television to unlock new realms inspired by iconic film eras such as Silent Era cinema, Italian Giallo, and 1980s body horror. Each world presents unique enemies, puzzles, and atmospheric challenges, blending classic film aesthetics with survival horror mechanics. Throughout your journey, you must scavenge for supplies, arm yourself with era-inspired weapons and tools, and uncover key items that help you solve puzzles and unlock new paths, all while trying to survive the horrors unleashed by the cursed tapes. The game’s distinct appeal lies in its mixed media approach, featuring original VHS footage created and edited by developer Chris Evry (Katanalevy), which blurs the line between fiction and reality, providing a nostalgic and immersive experience. Your apartment is the only place to save your progress, making it essential to find shortcuts and new routes to advance. Dead Format offers a unique fusion of handcrafted video content and atmospheric gameplay, crafted by a solo Scottish developer known for his dark and gothic themes in previous titles such as Cardiac and Symphony of Seven Souls. This haunting journey through cinematic nightmares challenges players to uncover hidden truths and survive the sinister grip of a cursed VHS format before it’s too late.
