Swedish indie developer Landfall has released the brand new game Content Warning, keeping in its long-standing tradition of April Fool's Day game releases that brought fans Totally Accurate Battlegrounds and Battle Simulator, among other things.
Content Warning is a cute-looking co-op horror game where you play a group of characters trying to film 'spooky stuff' and then upload it to 'SpookTube' to get famous. The game is free to permanently add to your library as long as you do it by 6 PM today, April 2. So far, reception has been extremely positive, with a 97% review approval score.
Here's an overview of Content Warning's features:
- In-game handheld working video camera
- 2-4 player online coop
- Voice chat
- ASCII face customization
- Make and save in-game recordings
- Your friends looking and acting silly
- Scary animated physics monsters
- Cursed artifacts
- Flashlights (many)
- Fame (maybe)
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!
Film as many scary things as possible before you run out of oxygen, camera battery, or friends. If you survive, get back to the diving bell to transport you and the remaining members of your team to the surface. Upload your chaotic footage to SpookTube, settle in for a watch party, and wait for the views to tick up.
Every run lasts 3 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 and live a life of fame and fortune!
