VHS: Deadbreak

The atmosphere in this game is so tense that my players were literally holding their breath when the jaws started grinning. I love how the rules force you to grab whatever's around you, it makes every session feel desperate and unpredictable. Can't wait to run it again.

The tension is palpable from the first page; the way the game describes the enemies' grins and footsteps really puts you on edge. Scrounging for supplies to survive the horde feels desperate and real, not just a mechanic. This is exactly the kind of survival horror RPG I’ve been craving.

Played this with my group last weekend and the zombie horde mechanics kept everyone on edge the whole session. The rulebook explains the grab-anything-you-can system pretty clearly, though I wish there were more example encounters.
