Genuinely so happy creative people are embracing the Horror Co-op genre because jesus christ I had given up on the genre after the 3rd Backrooms game. I'm sure the 3rd extraction horror game will be the end of my interest with the sub - genre but I'll take it any day over all the phasmophobia and DBD clones.
Just like Lethal Company, the presentation is all there. I love the contrast between the silly and colorful new world against the dark gritty but still silly stuff of the "old world". Not to mention the game being focused around making a video means you have to stick around your friends and "perform" to get the highest view count possible. It's a great twist on the "horror" aspect of the game because you WANT to see these scary monsters. You WANT to die in funny ways because it'll make the video better.
This game does share the same problem I have with vanilla Lethal Company in that restarting after a long and difficult run feels so bad, to the point where you're just waiting for the game to be scary again. I do wonder how much more I'll play this game but from I played I'd say it's a great game. Also it was completely free for an entire day! Who does that?
