The verdict

A simple but tense co-op horror loop that shines with a full group of four and gets free new maps. It's repetitive and brutally unbalanced solo or in duos, so skip it without friends.

Great for

Groups of four friends who enjoy screaming, panicking and teamwork over proximity chat

Main risk

Repetitive collect-10-items loop and steep difficulty if you lack a full group of four

What changed in the last 30 days

40 recent reviews

Recent negatives cite bugs (invisible enemies, catches through walls), repetition, and lack of guidance. The sample is small, so confidence is low.

Unbalanced, overly hard late game and fast enemies
