Our take on Charlie Charlie Challenge
The defining mechanic is speech recognition: Charlie responds to the words spoken during the ritual, making voice communication part of the encounter rather than only a way for players to coordinate.
What is Charlie Charlie Challenge?
Charlie Charlie Challenge is a 1–4 player cooperative horror game about locating and banishing Charlie before escaping.
Players use speech recognition to communicate with the entity through a paper-and-pencil ritual, and Charlie responds to the words spoken rather than only voice volume. The multiplayer mode supports up to 4 players, with voice chat available for communication. Each match requires finding the main room where Charlie is located, while map items appear in changing positions. Charlie becomes more difficult to handle as the match progresses. The game is in active development and includes graphics settings intended for both lower-end and higher-end systems.
How Charlie Charlie Challenge plays

- 03Changing item locations

- 05Adjustable graphics
