Landfall Games Unveils ‘Content Warning’ with a Special 24-Hour Offer
Landfall, the Swedish publisher celebrated for its unique indie games like Totally Accurate Battle Simulator and Clustertruck, has recently expanded its repertoire with an immediate release of a new cooperative horror game. Aptly named Content Warning, the game debuted on Steam with a tantalizing offer: for the first day of its release, gamers could snag the title at no cost.
Those quick enough to take advantage of this introductory giveaway were able to keep the game without spending a dime. However, once the initial 24 hours lapsed, the game settled into its regular price, a modest . This strategic move has successfully piqued the interest of the gaming community, and even shortly after its release, Content Warning has garnered an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam, backed by a substantial number of reviews.
Content Warning invites players into a spine-tingling adventure where they can join forces with up to three friends. In this new release, teams are transported to ‘the Old World’—a realm replete with cursed relics and spine-chilling monsters, all governed by physics that add a twist to the horror. The game’s goal is to capture these eerie moments on film, battling dwindling oxygen levels, fleeting battery life, and the potential loss of comrades. Successful footage can then be uploaded to the game’s fictional platform ‘SpookTube’, where players earn ad revenue to fund character enhancements and gear upgrades, all in the pursuit of becoming a viral sensation.
The game’s development is credited to a team of five, each of them making their debut on Steam with this title. Landfall Games has taken a bold leap by releasing the game on April Fools’ Day, with a surprise launch that seems to have paid off based on the positive reception. The publisher’s innovative approach may well position Content Warning as a favorite among streaming communities and content creators.
For those eager to dive into this cooperative horror experience, the time is ripe to add Content Warning to their Steam collection. While the initial free offer has expired, the game remains an accessible addition at its standing price. There’s currently no word on a possible console port or compatibility with handheld devices such as the Steam Deck or ROG Ally, but players and enthusiasts will be keeping a close eye for any updates from Landfall Games.
