Video Horror Society bursts into PC early access as an asymmetrical horror experience inspired by the best of 80s cinema. On release day, players began rating the game, with feedback rolling in from hundreds of early adopters. As of now, the title sits in the mid-70s by community assessment, signaling solid interest from horror fans and multiplayer enthusiasts alike. Many describe it as a potential rival to well-known asymmetrical titles in the genre.
The core gameplay centers on five players in a tense, survival-driven loop. Four teenagers must endure against a fifth player who embodies one of several monstrous threat archetypes. That monster’s mission is to locate and eliminate each survivor by any means available, creating a high-stakes cat-and-mouse dynamic that rewards teamwork and quick thinking.
Monsters in Video Horror Society pay homage to classic 80s horror icons. Players can encounter a growing roster of grotesque and deadly creatures, ranging from the iconic werewolf to the eerie puppeteer. For the teenagers, there are crafting options to assemble various disposable weapons, offering a tactical toolkit to fight back when escape routes are blocked. The game emphasizes one brutal choice each round: fight to survive, or succumb to the frightening world that surrounds them.
Each level is handcrafted to evoke authentic horror atmospheres. Survivors traverse diverse locations drawn from vintage movie settings, including shadowy hotels and secret laboratories. Every character class brings distinct abilities and a scalable skill tree, inviting players to experiment with strategies. Mastering the systems and coordinating with teammates becomes essential for overcoming the threats they face.
Video Horror Society can be added to a Steam library and is also available on the Epic Games Store. The title is free to download, making it accessible for players curious about asymmetrical multiplayer horror experiences.
