Indie horror fans, mark your calendars! Portuguese development studio Camel 101 has officially announced its latest project: Dead Stop – No Vacancy, set to launch on PC via Steam on August 13, 2026.

If you’re a fan of atmospheric storytelling, vintage VHS vibes, and classic 1980s slasher lore, this short, standalone first-person horror experience is designed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

What is Dead Stop – No Vacancy?

Dead Stop – No Vacancy serves as the chilling debut entry in Dead Stop, a brand-new anthology series of short, bite-sized horror titles inspired by classic horror tropes and eerie, forgotten locations.

In this first episode, players step into the worn boots of Nancy, a sharp, hard-nosed investigative reporter tracking down an arson story in the small town of Crestfall. Things take a dark turn when Nancy loses GPS signal on a desolate back road and is forced to stop for the night at the isolated Paradise Motel.

What seems like a simple overnight stay quickly unravels into a terrifying mystery. With no road signs, no signal, and eerie occurrences hidden behind every door, Nancy soon discovers that getting a room at the Paradise Motel might be the worst mistake of her life.

Key Game Features:

• Retro 80s Slasher Aesthetic: Immersive visual style paying homage to classic VHS horror and retro survival games.
• Environmental Storytelling & Puzzles: Explore creepy rooms, uncover hidden secrets, and solve mechanical contraptions tied directly to the motel’s dark history.
• Pure Psychological Tension: Experience an atmospheric, exploration-driven horror setup that trades cheap jump scares for slow-burning dread and rich sound design.
• Focused & Lean Gameplay: A tight, complete narrative experience—no filler, no unnecessary padding.
