A copy each

Up to four players split objectives, revive each other and scream at each other over voice chat while hunters stalk the halls.
You cannot fight back, only hide, distract and run, which makes coordination the core of the game.
It is graphic horror; everyone needs their own copy, and crossplay lets PC and console friends play together.
