This was an interesting twist on Lethal Company, and to the game's credit, the twist is very well done. Mimicking live streaming and found footage while providing some goofy props is by far the best part of the game. The most laughs always came from watching the footage.

Unfortunately, the rest of the game is really underwhelming. The first map is incredibly boring, if you don't find enemies then there's absolutely zero friction. You don't have any reason at all to stray from the group, so there's not any kind of scare factor.

It's also fairly opaque about scoring. In Lethal Company, you have a good idea of how well you're doing because you know what you've gathered and how much it's worth. In Content Warning, you have no clue whether that Snail Man you've filmed is worth 100 views or 1.5k views. Which made it feel more like luck if you made it far or not.

Kinda fun to mess around with for a few hours, but I definitely am glad I got it for free.
