Is Myth worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Small groups who want an online co-op horror game centered on solving puzzles
- Players who enjoy haunted-school mysteries involving missing-person investigations
- Friends seeking difficult puzzles alongside enemies with distinct strengths and weaknesses
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a relaxed puzzle game may find the Entities' hunting abilities and instant eliminations too demanding
- Those wanting a broad campaign may find the structure limited to 4 primary levels and 4 primary puzzles
- Solo players looking for a single-player experience may not suit the online co-op format
Our take on Myth
The focus on difficult puzzles and Entity weaknesses creates a demanding co-op rhythm, while randomized passwords can require repeated work after death. Spectating gives eliminated players a way to observe friends, but it does not replace active puzzle solving or survival.
What is Myth?
Myth is a cooperative online horror game for as many as four participants, taking place in a school haunted by Entities while the group searches for a lost friend.
Four main stages contain puzzles and creatures with their own powers and pursuit methods. Progress requires uncovering one code per stage: players complete the associated puzzle, then investigate documents, hints, or direct tests to learn each Entity’s vulnerabilities. There are four central puzzles, and each generally takes between half an hour and an hour. Some stages assign codes at random, meaning a death may send players back to the start of that stage’s puzzle. Voice chat activates based on player distance, while spectator mode allows eliminated players to watch surviving companions.
How Myth plays
- 01Online co-op
- The game supports groups of up to 4 players investigating the haunted school together.
- 02Entity weaknesses
- Players can study notes and clues or test their abilities to discover how to survive each Entity.
- 03Spectator mode
- Players who have died can observe their friends and act as their eyes during the game.
- 04Randomized passwords
- Certain levels randomize the password, which can require the related puzzle to be solved again after a death.
