Video Horror Society

About

Video Horror Society pits four teenagers against one monster in a chaotic 80s horror throwback. Players join either the Survivors, who wield retro sci-fi weapons like flamethrowers and holy slingshots to fend off waves of creatures, or the Evil, who stalk and dismantle their prey through shifting environments. The video store setting doubles as a battlefield, with neon-lit aisles and backrooms fueling unpredictable encounters. Each monster class has distinct traits, the Doll Master lurks in shadows while the Werewolf charges in with brute force, and Survivors must upgrade their arsenal using Stigma-powered relics to stay alive. The game leans hard into its nostalgic aesthetic without relying on it, blending frantic multiplayer combat with role-specific strategies. Community feedback highlights the satisfying asymmetry and the variety of monster abilities, though some note the learning curve for new players. With its over-the-top weapons and80s B-movie energy, it appeals to fans of chaotic team-based showdowns. The 4v1 format keeps matches intense, and the shifting power dynamics ensure no two sessions play the same.

Storyline

Something Evil has arrived in the video store... Abominations once confined to video store cassettes have escaped the tape and transformed into deadly reality. Experience pulse-pounding 4v1 combat amidst neon-soaked cinematic labyrinths where power shifts unpredictably between Good and Evil, but always ends in a fight-to-the-death climax fit for the silver screen. Monsters follow a script that calls not only for death, but total domination. Be you the Werewolf-- brutal and swift, or the Doll Master-- creeping and conniving, you are designed to feast on fear, terrorizing your teenage prey relentlessly. Teens scramble to flip the script with weapons fueled by ancient Stigma-- Burn, Shock, Curse, and Purify-- that extinguish Evil. Blast monsters with a faceful of Flame and Fury, dish out a killer jolt from your Raygun or RC Flyer, swing Cursed Swords and cast curses, and harness the glory of a Holy Slingshot or Cross. Video Horror Society bleeds 80s horror, and if you’re not careful, you will too.
