How it plays
Up to four players explore yellow office corridors, flooded halls and dark warehouses together, solving small puzzles to find the way to the next level while something stalks them.
The scares land best with friends shouting directions at each other.
A full playthrough takes a few evenings.
Every player needs a copy, but PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Switch 2 players can share a lobby.
