Deadcam

About

Deadcam is a psychological survival horror game that channels the eerie vibe of 80s and 90s found footage. You play as the person capturing the action on camera, navigating short, standalone stories set in unsettling locations. Each scenario drops you into a new environment, like an abandoned Japanese high school, where you must document strange occurrences while avoiding whatever’s lurking nearby. The gameplay leans into tension and atmosphere, with limited tools to help you survive. What really grabs attention is how the found-footage format immerses you in the protagonist’s fear. The first story’s claustrophobic school setting and sudden jump scares set a strong foundation. While the game’s July 2025 release means no player stats yet, early details suggest it nails the nostalgic horror feel without overcomplicating mechanics. It’s a short but impactful experience for fans of the genre.

Storyline

DEADCAM is a collection of short stories presented as "recordings". The player inhabits the person who recorded the footage. The first story is set inside what seems to be an abandoned Japanese high school.
