If you scream in real life, you scream and then die in the game
Digital Cybercherries are pleased to reveal that DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER, the co-op reimagining of their viral horror hit, DON’T SCREAM, will launch December 3rd on Steam. DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER offers not only co-op, but also a new game mode where you can hunt down your friends, expanded locations, dynamic scares, improved voice detection, accessibility options and much more.
DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER is an experience about friendship, fear, and keeping your voice down. Up to four players must survive the night together by exploring, finding batteries for their camcorders, and speaking quietly through a forest that may – or may not – be haunted. Beware the jump scares, because if anyone screams, everyone restarts. If you choose to play in the new “Hunted” mode, speaking too loudly will see that player return as a playable hunter who can track, stalk, and intimidate the remaining team via proximity voice before finishing them off.
The game turns a simple concept into an unpredictable and hilarious test of teamwork and self-control. Whether you’re surviving as a group or slowly losing one friend at a time, it’s a beautifully terrifying walk in the woods.
“DON’T SCREAM was a viral sensation, selling over 100k units in its first week, but the biggest feedback we heard was that people wanted to play with their friends,” said Joe Henson, Creative Gameplay and Marketing Director at Digital Cybercherries, best known for their hit action figure shooter, HYPERCHARGE: UNBOXED. “DON’T SCREAM TOGETHER finally adds this much requested feature, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The first game was a proof-of-concept experiment, but we’ve had over two years to carefully hone in on what worked, what didn’t, and what we could do to enhance the experience. Now it’s not simply a co-op expansion, but an entirely new experience that will remain fresh for returning players as well as newcomers.”
