Film your friends doing scary things to become SpöökTube famous! (strongly advised to not go alone)
Players form squads of 2-4 people to cooperatively explore a mysterious underwater environment called the "Old World." Using a handheld video camera, they film encounters with eerie, physics-animated monsters and cursed artifacts. The goal is to capture the most compelling and viral-worthy footage to earn views and revenue on the in-game streaming platform "SpöökTube."
The game features an ASCII-based face customization tool that allows players to personalize the appearance of their in-game characters. This adds an additional layer of creative expression to the cooperative experience.
Teams must work together to navigate the dangers of the Old World, managing limited resources like oxygen, camera battery, and the well-being of their squad members. Successful expeditions require players to coordinate their actions and make strategic decisions to prolong their survival.
The unpredictable nature of the supernatural encounters and the interplay between the survival mechanics often lead to hilarious and chaotic moments. Players frequently highlight the game's ability to produce goofy and absurd situations, especially when friends are filming each other's reactions.
The majority of players seem to appreciate the game's unique concept and cooperative horror elements. While some note technical issues or bugs, the overall sentiment is that the game is highly entertaining, particularly when experienced with friends who embrace the goofy and spooky nature of the experience.
