We’re witnessing the live birth of a brand-new indie genre, in which a small team of players brave intense horrors to recover lost artifacts and scrap for a virtual paycheck. Like Lethal Company, Content Warning took the world by storm on April Fool’s Day when, instead of tricking the masses, it launched totally free. Here’s what you need to know about the indie game!
Why is Everyone Playing Content Warning?
You’ll find many people playing Content Warning or talking about playing the indie horror game for several reasons. First and foremost, it’s because the developer decided to celebrate April 1st by offering their game at a steep discount. For 24 hours, the horror game was given away to the gaming community completely free of charge.
Secondly, people love this concept. It’s a ton of fun to get a group of your friends together, hop on an open-mic call in Discord, and delve into the unknown to face terrors and earn rewards. It’s visceral and exciting!
What is Content Warning?
Content Warning is a first-person cooperative horror game where you and your pals venture deep into unknown facilities and points of interest to record monsters, cursed relics, and artifacts.
The game’s primary goal is to film as many horrors as possible before your oxygen levels deplete, your camera battery fails, or you and your friends fall victim to the monsters and mysteries. If you return to the surface alive, you can upload your footage to build an audience, go viral, and earn a sweet paycheck.

How to Play Content Warning
As previously mentioned, the goal of Content Warning is to record various monsters and artifacts in their natural habitat. Once you’ve completed the 3-day job, you return and upload the footage to SpookTube, and as the number of views increases, so too does your ad revenue.
It’s similar to Lethal Company, but without hunting for scrap. You’re just recording this time around.
What Do You Spend Money On in Content Warning?
As you earn more money for your horror footage, you can buy all manner of items from the in-game store, including:
- Equipment
- Emotes
- Props
- Medical Aid
Oh, and you can use the ASCII face customization system to personalize your character and bring a little goofy to the horrors below!
