Vermis Malum

Vermis Malum

In a series of tapes filmed some time in the winter of 2021, Lawrence documents his discovery of an old laptop in his attic that contains the (only?) copy of an esoteric “lost video game” called Vermis Malum. As he plays, snippets of notes, audio, and images offer surreal glimpses of a cryptic mythology surrounding the game and its supposed creator, the troubled lives of players who stumbled on it before him, and the shape of something cruel and hungry slouching in the dark place behind the screen, waiting patiently to be born.

This collection of webpages, songs, forum posts, zines, art, and videos centers around five characters whose consciousnesses are preserved in digital and physical archives (including a 1930s(?) vaudeville singer, a 1980s high school jock, and a 1990s riot grrrl.) Characters have been very responsive so far, so high hopes for future interactable content!

They Don't Know They're Born

They Don't Know They're Born is an Analog Horror series by Video Visions Ltd set in 1980's Britain. Using video collage and a backdrop of real events, attitudes and government policies, this series aims to tell a story rooted in reality that is chillingly plausible. They Don't Know They're Born deliberately avoids gore, jumpscares and other tropes to bring you a story filled with dread and psychological horror. This multi-POV story aims to keep you guessing and will present you with characters whose motivations are both relatable and unsettling. Expect contextual ARG elements and subtle, but persistent, storytelling.

My name's Danielle and I'm not sure what's going on. First, it was seeing that "commercial" (and eventually feeling like there was something off about it), then there were those videos that showed up and now...well, I'll put it this way: I don't feel quite like myself anymore. Things have been anything but normal lately and, from what I found out, it looks like what's happening now has happened before.
