What it does for your game
- Atmosphere without shader work: VHS glitches, static, blood on the lens, fog and flashlight masks come as overlays that sit on top of any engine's screen.
- Picture the found-footage moment: A camcorder REC screen frames the hallway, tracking bands roll through, heartbeat edges pulse red and the flashlight flickers as the battery dies.
- Stack the presets: 34 overlays and 44 sprite effects, 12 ready presets, JSON for every sheet and a Godot 4 demo with the flashlight following the mouse.
Licence in one line: use them in your commercial games; do not resell the files. No credit required.
What you get
- 15 horror atmosphere overlays: vignette and breathing vignette, heartbeat red edges (one beat a second), blood running down the screen, 3 blood-on-the-lens pictures, frost creeping in, darkness reaching in, ground fog and thin fog that repeat, rain on a window, an eye blink, white and red flashes.
- 5 flashlight masks: small, medium and large light holes, a flickering dying-battery version and a first-person cone. The masks are twice the screen, so the light follows your player anywhere.
- 11 sprite effects at 64x64 in 4 colour sets (spectral green, phantom blue, cursed purple, blood red): ghost wisp, portal opening and swirling, possession aura, soul pull, shadow tendrils, cursed fire, glowing eyes that blink, splatter, jumpscare burst, teleport smoke.
- 12 presets and 5 tints that say which layers to stack: found footage, bleeding out, something is near, the dark wins, dying battery, jumpscare...
Made to drop in
- Drawn at 320x180, shipped at 320x180, 640x360 and 1920x1080 (exact whole-number copies), sprites at 1x to 4x. 1-bit alpha with pixel dithering, so edges stay crisp.
- The numbers are in the files: each sheet has a JSON with frame rectangles, fps, loop, opacity, blend and the sprite anchor; horrorfx.json lists everything.
- The screenshots use night scenes from Gridwright Parallax Backgrounds, not included).
