In VHS Vault: Sokoban Sepulcher, work is a nightmare. Welcome to the graveyard shift!
Lit only by flickering TVs and neon red exit signs, putting away tapes isn't just your job... it's your doom! As the static clears, you realize that you're not alone. Classic monsters crawl out of the displays to hunt you down in this puzzlehouse of terror!
Overcome fiendish sokoban challenges while dodging dimly lit horrors lurking among the shelves. Will you be quick enough to pop in the final tape and escape before they close in... or will you star in a gruesome finale?
At the VHS Vault, you can rewind the tapes - but not your fate!
Made in collaboration with my friends Andy (who is responsible for all the amazing art) and Jimch (programmer, game designer, and puzzle game stan) for the Scream TV game jam. Music by the wonderful @Gruber. The technique for dynamic lighting came from @krajzeg's great writeup. Much level design inspiration was taken from David W. Skinner's Microban puzzles.
Here are some random clips of our work in progress that I took during the jam:
An interesting twist on the Sokoban theme. Its very atmospheric and the sound and music are top-notch.
Its tough and is also screaming out for an "undo move" and level select though.
But a lovely cartridge with levels that really make you think
