- 4players
- 30–90 min
- PC
A free psychological horror game on the Half-Life engine, following a young man through a nightmarish Swedish town at night.
Who can play
- No split-screen on any platform.
- Online for up to 4 players on PC.
- Free to play.
How it plays
Up to four friends play a separate co-op campaign as police officers caught in the same nightmare, or hold out against waves of monsters in survival mode.
The old engine feels clunky, ammo is scarce and the scares are harsh, so it suits groups who like tough, slow horror.
The game is free, so nobody has to buy anything.
