Our take on Horror Squad
The store copy gives substantial attention to terrifying creatures, secrets, and unpredictable danger. The concrete play loop is narrower: select a job, explore an area, complete a ritual, find items, and neutralize the creature, with hiding and locked doors as supporting elements.
What is Horror Squad?
Horror Squad is an online cooperative horror game for one to four players.
Teams choose a job, enter cursed areas, investigate their surroundings, and search for items left by failed squads. Progress involves completing the appropriate ritual and neutralizing the creature haunting each territory. Players coordinate their actions, hide from threats, open locked doors, and uncover secrets while trying to break the curse. Encounters can involve searching for useful objects, finding ways past obstacles, or choosing between confronting danger and hiding. The game combines area exploration, cooperative objectives, creature avoidance, and ritual-based encounters across lands controlled by evil spirits.
