Demons Ate My Neighbors!

About

Demons Ate My Neighbors! is a frantic roguelite shooter set in a 1990s nightmare where cursed VHS tapes turn your suburban neighbors into monsters. You play as April or Joey, grabbing household items and holy squirt guns to clear out the evil before the ice cream man finds you. The game features both single player and co-op modes so you can tackle the chaotic levels with a friend while hunting for upgrades along the way. What stands out here is how it leans hard into VHS horror tropes without trying too hard to be serious about it. The art style captures that grainy, low-fidelity look perfectly while the gameplay keeps things fast and messy. Players often note how refreshing it feels to fight through waves of possessed homeowners using everyday objects. It runs smooth on PC and handles the co-op chaos well even when screens are filled with enemies and special effects.

Storyline

1991 — it seems like any other sweltering July in the sleepy suburbs of Fairweather Valley...until a cursed VHS unleashes untold horrors upon the neighborhood, turns the residents evil, and generally makes April & Joey’s summer a total bummer. Our heroes must exorcise their neighbors from hell, fight their way back to the haunted High School and rewind their summer to save the world!
