HOLLYWOOD INSIDER SPECIAL is a unique VHS providing some lore.

Overview

The player can reduce boredom by -5 for each line of dialog when in the vicinity of a television playing the VHS.

The VHS is a tape of a recording that would’ve seemingly been put on the TURBO network, with a video of some famous celebrities singing for the people experiencing the Knox Event in the Exclusion Zone. This includes the player too.

The player seemingly gains fear from the tape, receiving an insignificant amount of stress after watching it.

livingroom shelves 10.78%

This VHS will only spawn once and only in living room shelves, making it incredibly rare.

Trivia

  • This tape is likely a reference to a widely parodied internet video created in March of 2020, where a group of celebrities recorded themselves singing "Imagine" in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • First curfew of the Knox Event took place on July 12 1993 at 6pm, which means that this home VHS tape is the most recent recorded media in the game. With this information in mind, it is unknown whether if this item is obtainable before July 12 or not.
