Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for frequent combat or fast-paced action may find the exploration-and-puzzle focus too subdued.

- Players seeking cooperative play may not find that experience here; the page promotes a separate cooperative game.
Our take on Necrophosis
The page opens with a mention of a Lovecraftian co-op game, but the rest of its description presents Necrophosis as a first-person puzzle adventure. That opening can blur which game the cooperative reference applies to.
What is Necrophosis?
Necrophosis is a first-person horror adventure set in a surreal world long after the universe's end.

The journey combines environmental exploration with puzzles that reveal parts of a larger story.
