Video Horror Society was a 1v4 Asymmetric Multiplayer game, published and developed by Hellbent Games, released on Early Access on Steam on July 18, 2022.
Teenagers are trapped in a life-or-death struggle against movie monsters leaping into the real world, and they're the only ones who can fight back.
The game shut down on September 8th, 2023.
Video Horror Society provided examples of the following tropes:
- The '80s: The game is set in the 1980s, though it's not shown what year it's set in. Character challenges are stored on VHS tapes.
- Double Unlock: Each challenge tier/tape had to be completed for the next one to be unlocked.
- Forced Transformation: The monster player started out as a random teen from the character pool before becoming the monster. They had 10 seconds to find one or more of the players, or immediately transform.
- Fur Against Fang: The "Howl High" trilogy involves a feud between vampires and werewolves, which is where the Werewolf comes from.
- Goth: Jess is a goth with thick eye shadow, messy hair and tattoos, and gives off a general "don't-fuck-with-me" attitude.
