Limited Run Games

Something escaped from the VHS section of your local video store, and it's hungry. The Limited Run #458: CARRION VHS Edition for PlayStation 4 takes one of the most satisfying reverse-horror games in recent memory and packages it inside an oversized plastic VHS clamshell that looks like it crawled straight out of 1987. This is the kind of collector's edition that makes people stop and ask questions.

The VHS-style box houses the PS4 disc alongside a CD soundtrack and an 18" x 24" poster, all wrapped in that distinctive retro rental store aesthetic. CARRION already plays like a love letter to body horror cinema, and this packaging choice elevates the whole presentation into something that feels like a genuine artifact from an alternate timeline where creature features came on cartridges and clamshells.

Shelf presence is the entire point here, and this set absolutely nails it. That oversized clamshell stands out against standard game cases the way a horror VHS stood out against the bland rental store wall. It's bold, it's weird, and it's the exact kind of creative packaging that collectors gravitate toward years after release. For anyone building a horror-themed collection or simply appreciating when a publisher matches the packaging to the game's identity perfectly, this VHS Edition is a no-brainer. It understands what it is and commits completely.
