Battle endless hordes in an 80s horror nightmare. Stack insane upgrades, break the game, and survive as long as you can.
80s Horror Survivors
SteamYour little sister has been dragged into a nightmare. You grew up on horror movies. Now it is your turn to survive one.
80s Horror Survivors is a top-down action roguelite inspired by the monsters, atmosphere, and pop culture of 1980s horror. Dodge relentless hordes, collect experience, and combine strange weapons with VHS companions and supernatural powers. Build a screen-clearing arsenal as you fight your way toward your sister.
Unleash swarms of flies, fire paired red-and-cyan beams through 3D glasses, chain lasers between enemies, summon energy-firing totems, and call down lightning from the sky. Mix orbiting weapons, explosive dark energy, enemy-luring decoys, and spinning tornadoes to shape each run around your own combination of attacks.
Choose upgrades that increase damage, attack speed, range, and other weapon-specific effects. Experiment with combinations and evolve your firepower as the hordes close in.
Unlock a catalog of 15 VHS companions, summons, and support powers, plus a final mystery tape. Some fight beside you, some unleash supernatural attacks, and others keep you alive or help you grow faster.
Battle through The Cursed Forest, The Restless Graveyard, and The Infernal Void on your mission to rescue your sister. Face bosses, unlock new challenges, and take on a separate dog-rescue mission in The Shattered Rift.
Then test your strongest combinations in The Endless Night, an endless survival mode where the fight continues for as long as you can stay alive.
Death is another step forward. Use persistent progression and Rebirth upgrades to strengthen future attempts, unlock more options, and push deeper into the nightmare.
Enter The Cursed Forest and try the first world with up to 60 minutes of total playtime across sessions. The demo is limited to World 1; later worlds and modes are part of the full game.
