The verdict
A cheap co-op horror where monsters react to your mic, very fun and chaotic with 3+ friends. Skip it if you play solo or want polished content and consistent monster AI.
Great for
Groups of 3-4 friends who want screaming, laughing and proximity-chat chaos
Main risk
Monsters seem to hear you even when silent, and mic settings are unreliable, undermining the core mechanic
What changed in the last 30 days
36 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews cite the latest update: constant zombie moaning, monsters hearing everything, and invites failing. Based on a few reviews, so moderate confidence.
