The Consensus: Is It Worth Playing?

Dead Format is a survival horror game set in 1990s Scotland in which the player searches for a missing brother who vanished after becoming obsessed with a mysterious VHS format called Video Ghastlies. The game uses a VHS tape-inserting hub mechanic to send players into different horror-themed worlds inspired by distinct eras of film.

This looks incredible. I am so impressed by this. This is fucking awesome. Shout out to the dev. Like I love Demonology and this is such a massive leap forward in terms of like complexity and scale.
