A copy each

Up to four players can run the whole story together online, splitting up to scavenge by day and sticking close when night brings out the fast, deadly infected.
Story progress counts only for the host, so guests may need to replay chapters in their own game, but experience and gear carry over for everyone.
It is gory and tense, best for groups who like horror and don't mind dying often.
Each player needs a copy on the same platform.
