In the spirit of celebrating April Fool’s Day, developer Landfall has today announced and released a video game, Content Warning. The best part, it’s free, well until April 2 at 9AM PT. So you need to act fast to add it to your Steam Library. If you don’t know, Content Warning is a first-person-content-creation, cooperative horror game where you and your friends explore the entrance to an old forbidden world and try to film silly videos for SpookTube. You either get famous or die trying. “Either solo or with 2-4 players, you will squad up with in-game voice chat, customize your character using an ASCII face customizer, and plumb the depths of The Old World. There you will find creepy creatures with their own wild physics, cursed relics to discover, and of course, get up to nonsense and film it in the name of that glorious Content for the hungry internet masses in the hopes of going viral on SpookTube.“
While everything on the outside looks nice and colorful, the Old World does not. You and up to four people grab your cameras and anything else you think you need and head down to the Old World. Down there you will encounter scary, physics-animated monsters, cursed relics, and other artifacts. While down there you will attempt to film as many scary things as possible before you run out of oxygen. You then have to manage to find a way to get back in the diving bell to transport you and the remaining members of your team to the surface. You then upload your footage to SpooktTube and wait for the views to tick up. Every run goes on for 3 days, the more scary stuff you film, the more you go viral. The ad revenue from your SpookTube videos enables you to upgrade your gear to film better videos and survive more easily in the Old World. Head on over to Steam before 9 AM PT tomorrow to grab a free copy of Content Warning.
