About this game

An old presence has been awakened beneath the soil.
When the bells toll, the Harvester stirs.

Scary Sam is a short horror experience set within the DEADCAM universe. Scary Sam is an 80s/90s-inspired analog survival horror experience.

You play as a documentarian drawn to a remote farmhouse where the previous owner vanished without a trace. The only clues left behind are a series of tapes, strange machinery, and a legend whispered by nearby villagers; of Samael, the Toller of the Wood.

Explore the abandoned property, uncover the story of what happened, and survive the nightly hauntings of the mysterious scarecrow known as Scary Sam.

  • Reveal the unseen: Use a special camera lens to uncover hidden objects, ghostly markings, and the true form of Scary Sam.
  • Hide or be harvested: When the bells toll, find shelter or face the Harvester himself.
  • Solve environmental puzzles: Discover secrets buried within the farmhouse.
  • Immersive VHS horror aesthetic: Inspired by 80s and 90s analog horror, grainy visuals, eerie sound design, and a hauntingly atmospheric tone.
  • Unravel the mystery: Piece together the recordings of Daniel Sawyer, the farmhouse’s last resident, to uncover what awakened beneath the earth.
  • Survive the Harvest Cycle: With each toll, Sam advances. Stop the tape to delay him, use the lens to reveal his true form, and survive until the hunt resets.
