Wot I Think: The Blackout Club

The Blackout Club

The Blackout Club is a first-person co-op horror game centered around a group of teenage friends investigating a monstrous secret beneath the skin of their small town. 1-4 players explore procedurally-generated missions against a fearsome enemy you can only see with your eyes closed.

Few things are as terrifying, or as potent in piercing morning s sedate veil, as the sudden outburst of an adult Canadian man, shrieking THE SHAPE. THE SHAPE IS COMING, through your desktop speakers.

In the Canadian adult s defence, however, one of those few things is The Shape itself: the Big Bad of stealthy co-op spookfest The Blackout Club. A relentless spectral apparition, only visible as a humanoid heat-blotch when you close your (in-game) eyes, The Shape is an omnipresent threat in TBC s uncanny suburbs, and the labyrinths beneath them. Whatever procedural fetch quests you and your one-to-four fellow players are tasked with during the game s 10-30 minute matches, The Shape will factor into your game plan.
