Content Warning is a co-op horror title from Landfall Games. It was released on April 1, 2024, and is currently available on Steam for $7.99. The game has been a smash hit ever since launch, with a peak concurrent player count of over 200k within the first 24 hours after launch.
You are tasked to dive into the Old World with your friends (at most three are allowed) to capture spooky footage amidst the horrors below. If you manage to survive the trip, you will get to upload the clips to SpookTube. If your content is good, you quickly go viral. More views mean more revenue which then can be reinvested in multiple upgrades and gadgets.
Gameplay
The simplistic nature of the gameplay and the artwork has caught the eye of players. The mechanics are simple. Collect your camera and flashlight, get into the diving bell, and go explore the Old World for as long as your oxygen lasts to film scary footage.
Once you are back on the surface, upload the clip to SpookTube and see whether it goes viral or not. The revenue from that can be used to buy gadgets and upgrades in Content Warning.
