CONTENT WARNING Goes Free on Steam and Takes Internet by Storm

Apr 02, 2024 9:57 AM

Landfall Games has released a new cooperative horror game called Content Warning, which has captivated players by reaching an impressive concurrent peak of 86,385 players shortly after launch. The game, given away for free for a limited 24-hour period, lets players record and share their frights in a bid to go viral on the in-game platform SpookTube. Gamers must catch scares on a video recorder, go viral, and then use their earnings to invest in better equipment to repeat the cycle. Despite some launch bugs, the developers have been prompt in addressing issues, and the game's innovative concept and positive early reception are setting it up to become a community-driven hit. While free at the moment, Content Warning will soon cost $8, offering an affordable addition to the horror game genre.

How can I play Content Warning?

To play Content Warning, if it's still within the initial 24-hour launch window, you can download it for free on Steam. If the promotion has ended, you can purchase it for $8 or your regional equivalent on the same platform.

Landfall Games, known for their quirky and engaging games like Totally Accurate Battlegrounds and Stick Fight: The Game, seems to have another potential success with Content Warning. Incorporating the fascinating mechanics of earning through viral content, the game taps into the current social media trends, blending traditional gaming with modern video consumption habits. The result is a title that encourages community interaction and content creation, in line with Landfall's unconventional approach to game design.
