Content Warning emerges as a daring fusion of horror and digital culture, inviting players into a game where the quest for virality takes them into the depths of the uncanny Old World. This co-op experience defies traditional gameplay by making the act of filming supernatural phenomena the pathway to fame on the fictional platform, SpöökTube. Armed only with their cameras and a quirky ASCII-customized avatar, players descend into an abyss where the relics of a bygone era and creatures that defy physics await to be captured on film. The stakes are as unique as the setting: to become viral sensations by engaging with the grotesque and the eerie, documenting their findings before resources—or courage—run out.
Once the adventure beneath concludes, the challenge shifts to the surface, where players’ footage undergoes the ultimate trial by public viewing. Content Warning blurs the lines between survival horror and the allure of digital fame, rewarding players not for escaping the monsters but for how well they share their encounters with them. The inclusion of voice chat and online co-op gameplay amplifies this experience, allowing for real-time strategy and shared moments of terror and triumph. As players refine their content through successive dives, funded by the ad revenue from their SpöökTube uploads, the game evolves. Each descent is a gamble, with better equipment enabling deeper exploration into the heart of darkness, all in the name of capturing that one perfect shot that will set the internet ablaze. In Content Warning, the thrill of discovery and the pursuit of fame are intertwined, offering a gameplay experience that is as innovative as it is haunting.
