Content Warning was released for free on Steam yesterday and the co-op horror game from Totally Accurate Battle Simulator creator Landfall has had a storming start to life.
As of writing, the game has passed 100K active players and been downloaded by 4.5 million users.
Being free certainly helped (it stops being free today though), but Steam reviews have it at Overwhelmingly Positive after more than 8,000 reviews.
You can learn more about the game below. It’s free for a few more hours, but will be $7.99 after that.
Content Warning Details & Trailer
Get famous or die trying! Content Warning is a cooperative horror game where you film spooky stuff with your friends to try and go viral.
Step One: Go Down to the Old World
Squad up, customize your face with the ASCII face customizer, buy some gear, and use the diving bell to go down to the Old World! Down there, you’ll encounter scary physics-animated monsters, cursed relics, and other artifacts!
Step Two: Film something scary
Film as many scary things as possible before you run out of oxygen, or friends…
Step Three: Upload to SpookTube
If you survive, you need to get back in the diving bell to transport you and the remaining members of your team to the surface. Upload your footage to SpooktTube and wait for the views to tick up!
And… Profit!!
Every run goes on for three days, the more scary stuff you film, the more you go viral. The ad revenue from your SpookTube videos enables you to upgrade your gear to film better videos and survive more easily in the Old World. If your team accumulates enough views in three days—you get to keep going with your SpookTube Career!
