| Update | Date | Excerpt / source |
|---|---|---|
| VHS-Aliens is out now: complete the VHS Horror Series | 2026-10-26 | The invasion has landed. VHS-Aliens is Part 3 of the VHS Horror Series: three new 80s alien-invasion "tapes" tied together by a nightmarish wrap-around story, packed with parasites, possessed hosts and never quite enough ammo. Steam Scream is on until 2 November, so it's the perfect time to catch up: VHS-Aliens is 30% off, VHS Freaks is 40% off and VHS Vermin is 30% off. If you've survived VHS Vermin and VHS Freaks, this is the finale. If you're new to the series, start wherever you like, as each game stands on its own, and the VHS Horror Series bundle is the easiest way to pick up the complete trilogy. We're a small independent UK studio, so |
| Halloween night? Press play on the VHS Horror Series | 2026-10-20 | Dim the lights, pull the blanket up and press play. This Halloween, the VHS Horror Series has nine cursed tapes waiting for you. VHS Vermin (Part 1): mutated spiders, slugs and worse, crawling out of a grimy 80s B-movie nightmare. VHS Freaks (Part 2): a twisted trailer park full of mutants, ghosts, possessed mannequins and cannibals. VHS-Aliens (Part 3): an alien invasion on degraded, flickering VHS, with parasites, possessed hosts and nowhere safe to hide. The ammo is scarce, the tracking is bad and something is always lurking in the static. New to the series? The VHS Horror Series Bundle gets you Parts 1 and 2 together, and VHS-Aliens finis |
