Much like Lethal Company, Content Warning is a co-op horror/comedy game by Landfall Publishing. If it’s your first time playing the game or you haven’t dabbled in horror games yet, here’s a quick breakdown. Your goal is to go into the location packed with creepy monsters, capture their scary footage, not die, and escape via the Dive Bell.

What is Content Warning?
Content Warning is similar to Lethal Company and follows a group of four players who venture into a creepy place called the “Old World” to film content for their “SpookTube” channel. SpookTube is a parody of YouTube, with a focus on spooky content. All in all, it is a fun and comedic take on the horror genre and has been loved by critics and players alike.
How to Play Content Warning?
- First, you and your teammates will spawn in a room where you can customize your face to make yourself easily identifiable. If you’re looking for some funny face options, here are some interesting suggestions.
- Remember that you can speak to each other and strategize/scream via proximity voice chat, so keep your microphone ready.
- Once everyone is ready, you need to make your way out the door and grab the recording camera and flashlights. The camera guy is the most important person in this scenario but they can drop the camera and someone else can pick it up during your journey.
- Use the Dive Bell to go to the haunted location but make sure you use your camera and flashlights only when you need them. That’s because their batteries can deplete and your dive will be useless if you don’t manage to film something scary.
- For your first visit, you won’t have any money, but if you capture spooky footage correctly, you will have money to spend before your next visit. Here’s a guide that explains the uses of every item in Content Warning. These items can be purchased at a terminal located outside the spawn building.
- Once you have recorded something scary, make your way back to the Dive Bell. Be careful, you can be caught by the monster while heading back too, and they can enter inside the Bell if your door is open!
- As soon as everyone (or most players) gets back alive, you will go upwards. Then, head to the machine next to your spawn house. This is where you can throw your video camera and convert it to a CD with your recording.
- Now go back inside the house and next to the massive TV on the ground floor. Put the CD in there and watch your recording on Spooktube, the comments that show up, and the views you get.
- Then go upstairs and go to Bed. When everyone goes to bed, the game will transition you to the next morning and now you are ready to do it all over again. You have a total of 3 days to become famous.
In short, the gameplay loop basically goes like this:
- Preparation: Gear up with essential items.
- Exploration: Venture into the creepy “Old World” to find paranormal activity.
- Capture Content: Use your camera to film ghosts and other spooky occurrences.
- Manage Resources: Keep an eye on your gear stats (camera battery) and resources (like your stamina, and oxygen) to survive long enough to return to the surface through a diving bell.
- Escape: Once you’ve captured enough content, make your way back to the surface through a diving bell.

Is it Fun to play Solo?
While you can play the game solo, it will not be as fun because you will have to multitask. The best part about this game is one player can use the flashlight, another can record, and another one can keep an eye out for monsters and essentially divide responsibilities.
If one of the four players gets caught by the monster (there can be many types of them), the others can continue moving forward and complete the task. This won’t be possible alone, so it’s highly recommended to play with others, even if it means random players. If your friends want to join in, here’s how to invite, add and join friends via Steam.
The game supports co-op play for up to four players. But there are Content Warning mods available that can help you get more than 4 players in-game, so if you’re okay with using them, here’s a guide that shows you the steps to follow.
You can even view your funny videos (with audio) if you save the recording. Here’s the save file location to get it.
