Dead Format Releases First Playable Demo

Katanalevy and Oro Interactive are proud to announce the launch of the first public demo for their upcoming survival horror game, Dead Format, available now on Steam.

Step into the demo of Dead Format by exploring two VHS tapes, each a twisted world inspired by iconic film eras and brought to life with original mixed media. Everything in Dead Format is created exclusively for the game, including the VHS footage, which is recorded and edited by developer Katanalevy to give each tape an authentic, era-specific look. Between tapes your apartment is your only safe space where you can catch your breath, study clues, and piece together the sinister mystery behind your brother’s disappearance. Face threats lurking in the dark and solve puzzles as you fight to survive each nightmarish world.

Experience the Demo, One Tape at a Time
The demo gives you a taste of what Dead Format has to offer:

Journey Through the Tapes: Insert VHS tapes into the TV to unlock two worlds, a 30s silent era horror and 80s body horror (drawing inspiration from Alien, The Thing)
Each VHS footage is created entirely for the game with authentic, original footage.
Your Safe Haven: Your apartment is your only refuge between tapes. Use it to review clues, piece together your brother’s disappearance, and prepare for what’s next.
Face the Nightmares: Keep an eye out for threats lurking in the shadows and work through puzzles standing between you and survival.
