Content Warning stormed the Steam charts in its first three days. Right now, it is one of the most played games on the platform - next to all the AAA games. What makes the co-op horror game so popular?
Horror games are mostly known for their dark setting, feeling lonely and hoping there are no other creatures lurking around. Content Warning does everything differently - and it works. With over 93% positive reviews and a peak of over 204k concurrent players, it is taking the Steam charts by storm.
Fear Meets Fame
Content Warning is a multiplayer co-op horror game where you try to become famous on SpöökTube with creepy supernatural content. With 1–3 friends you go down to the "old world", packed with some selfie sticks, cameras and flashlights you are ready to produce some content.
Down there you will find cursed artifacts, creepy monsters and lots of death traps. Your goal is to film your friends, the surroundings and as many creepy encounters as possible - until you run out of oxygen or all your friends are dead (well, at least that will generate some clicks, hopefully).
Upload your footage and wait for the fame - and the monetization that will allow you to upgrade your gear. Just like any other influencer, basically.
Content Warnings Secret: Simplicity And Atmosphere
So why is Content Warning so good? Mainly because it is simple. The graphics work well and there is no music. This creates a lot of tension, while the idea of the game and the graphics of the player characters and the upper world are quite funny. In the end, it's about the vibe, not the looks.
