About

In "Content Warning," a co-op horror game, players expedition into the Old World to film spooky creatures and artifacts for their SpöökTube channel. With each run lasting three days, the goal is to gain as many views as possible through filming scary content, which can be used to upgrade gear for future runs. The danger lies in the physically-animated monsters, depleting resources, and the ultimate challenge of surviving and returning to the surface.
