Oro Interactive and solo dev Katanalevy’s survival horror title Dead Format will launch for PC via Steam on December 10. To celebrate, the devs have released a brand new trailer that shows off even more gameplay footage, along with glimpses of the various VHS tapes you’ll be venturing into in order to save your brother.

Dead Format takes place in 1990s Scotland, and your brother has gone missing after becoming obsessed with a mysterious new VHS format. It turns out that some things aren’t meant to be recorded… and now, they’re watching you back. You must follow your brother’s trail through the tapes, exploring nightmarish worlds inspired by iconic film eras, from 1930s gothic terror to Carpenter-inspired body horror, Italian slashers, and found footage. Uncover the sinister government plot to ban these “Video Ghastlies” before they find you.

Your apartment is the hub, and the only place where you can save your progress. Here you can review clues, catch your breath, and prepare for the journey ahead. Use the television set in your apartment and inserting the VHS tapes allows you to open the door to new worlds, each one with its own inspiration.

Search for supplies to stay alive and uncover key items to solve puzzles, unlocking your path forward. All the while, you can arm yourself with weapons and tools inspired by the film worlds you’ll explore.
