About this game
Victor’s Video Vault is a first-person horror game that turns a 1995 Video Store Into a Reality-Bending Nightmare. The night shift at Video Vault is about survival. When the last customer leaves, the final rental begins to rewrite reality inside the store.

Every film follows its own logic. Adapt to shifting environments, uncover the rules, and survive what the store becomes.A Tangible 90s World
Plastic cases snap in your hands. CRTs flicker and hum. Every detail grounds you in a physical, analog nightmare.
A Separate, Replayable Mode
Step five years into the past and uncover the Vault's first outbreaks.Investigate What Happened
Search the store, document anomalies, and uncover what it's becoming.Victor's Journal
Record rare phenomena and track what you discover as each run reveals new details.No Two Runs Are the Same
Events, encounters, and discoveries shift every time you enter the Vault.
Reality Changes Every Night
The layout, physics, and behavior of the store shift as it begins to break down.Survive, Investigate, Progress
Solve environmental puzzles, uncover what's changing, and make it through the night.Secrets Beneath the Surface
Hidden rooms and "deleted scenes" appear as the store begins to fracture.A Grounded 90s World

Best Indie Games Fall Showcase
We’re excited to share that Victor’s Video Vault is part of the Best Indie Games Fall Showcase!Showcase starts @ 8AM PST, Today, September 1Browse Games on the Steam Eventhttps://store.steampowered.com/curator/26397247/sale/BIGFallShowcase2026There are a ton of great indie games taking part, so be sure to check out the full showcase and support some of the other developers involved. And if you haven’t played the Victor’s Video Vault demo yet, now is a great time to jump in and experience your first closing shift at Video Vault!The current demo is just a small slice of what we’re building, and we know there’s still a lot of the game you haven’t had a chance to see. In Story Mode, every night brings a new movie, theme, and haunting to the store, with its own strange events and surprises. And in Archive Mode, no two shifts are quite the same, with different hauntings, encounters, and events waiting to be discovered across multiple runs. In other words, we’ve barely scratched the surface.That’s why we’re already looking ahead to Steam Next Fest in 2027, where we’re planning to release a brand-new and significantly expanded demo that provides a much better vertical slice of the full game, with loads more customer interactions as well as new hauntings and events. Our current plans include additional Story Mode content as well as your first chance to experience part of Archive Mode. We’ll have more details on exactly what will be included as we get closer to the event. There are still plenty of movies to rent, hauntings to survive, mysteries to uncover, and very strange things waiting inside Video Vault.Soon, we’ll be back with another update featuring some fun new details about the game and what we’ve been working on behind the scenes.For now, we’re heads-down building new content every day and making Victor’s Video Vault bigger, stranger, scarier, and better. As always, if you’ve played the demo, we’re happy to hear your feedback!Thanks for checking out and supporting Vi...Read full article on Community Announcements (Stingbot Games)AnnouncementsOfficial

We’ll also be sharing more videos, screenshots, and updates as development continues.Some people have asked: who is Victor?Victor is the store’s #1 customer and an eccentric movie buff. He used to work at Video Vault years ago, but never really left. Now he spends his time wandering the aisles, eating cheese puffs, and bugging you with movie trivia.You'll be seeing a lot of him.If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. We're always an open book.More updates soon. Lots to come!Stingbot GamesRead full article on Community Announcements (Stingbot Games)
