Certain tales are inspired by real-life events.
Violent Horror Stories 2 has launched on Steam for PC, gathering eleven indie titles into a single anthology.
Hi, What’s Your Emergency. Rooted in authentic emergency protocols, this story puts you in the role of a dispatcher attempting to save a child from an abusive household. Your only tools are a telephone and cold bureaucracy — one wrong choice can steal priceless time.
Coin Locker Baby. A horror about an abandoned infant forced to confront the brutal truths of life.
HeartWood. Dream Girl returns to a cursed forest. You must reunite a fractured team and lift the last curse of the Fallen Evil before the woods consume everyone.
Strike from the Skies. A tactical horror where you serve as an artillery operator whose accuracy decides the fate of an entire city. One mistyped telegraph code and the shells could strike your own.
Coupon for a Million. A biting satire of reality television in which the show’s producers go to extreme lengths to ensure contestants do not win.
The Village and the Dead. A quiet settlement, an enigmatic death, and secrets better left buried.
Susser Tod. A Tamagotchi-like nightmare on a prison train: a supervisor forces the protagonist to torment the same inmate day after day, prompting the unsettling question — who is the real monster?
Down the Stairs. A slow, intimate descent into the mind of someone living with progressive dementia.
You Have [x] Missed Calls. After stealing a folder of incriminating material, the protagonist hides in an old friend’s apartment as their phone floods with missed calls. By nightfall they must confront one of those callers — and not all of them can be trusted.
The Exit Is Inside. A surgeon finds himself trapped in a morgue surrounded by corpses. The only escape is to learn how to “communicate” with the dead using a scalpel and forceps.
Deadman’s Hand: Hold’em. Texas Hold’em in an underground club where the stakes go far beyond money — the players around the table conceal something far worse than a bad hand.
Padishah’s Lady will be added to the collection later; in it players must win the Padishah’s favor to survive and save their child.
