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.
Every night, everyone in town gets out of bed and sleepwalks. In the morning, they wake up with no recollection of what happened or where they were.
IT TOOK YOUR FRIEND. THEY SAY IT’S NOT REAL
Some teenagers in this town woke up during a few of these “Blackouts” themselves, finding themselves in the woods or on train tracks with no idea how they got there. When they tell their parents, their teachers, the police… no one believes them. Taking matters into their own hands, they formed a club – The Blackout Club – to get to the bottom of it. Unfortunately, the recent disappearance of a close friend means that the sleepwalking isn’t just strange – it could be deadly.
IT WALKS AMONG THEM
You and your friends must team up to overcome the powerful forces that are arrayed against you. Using tools such as drones, noisemakers, and grappling hooks, you will outwit and outmaneuver the adults while attempting to obtain and record evidence that will prove what is happening to the rest of the world. With procedural elements that change goals, enemies, loot and more, no two nights in the neighborhood will be the same.
The Blackout Club Gameplay Features
- A Modern Horror Setting To Explore: A beautiful and modern neighborhood full of houses, woods, and a very mysterious subterranean network of tunnels.
- Cooperative Gameplay: Drop-in/Drop-out multiplayer sessions for 1-4 players.
- Each Night A New Adventure: Missions are procedurally-generated and vary according to player level and progress. Enemy Patrols, Loot Placement, Mission Objectives, Environmental Obstacles, and other aspects of each night’s mission are never the same twice for a high amount of replayability.
- Richly-Simulated World Supporting Many Play Styles: Players have the freedom to go through the game at their own pace and choose the paths they take through the world. Experiment with different abilities and items to find creative solutions to any problem.
- A Deep Mystery Under The Surface: Though we are a small team, we have decades of AAA experience from before we went independent, and our last game The Magic Circle has won awards for its story and narrative. That being said… with The Blackout Club, we have a few new tricks up our sleeve we think are going to surprise even the most veteran horror game fans.
- Character Growth & Customization: Players get to create their own character and customize them by unlocking new clothing, gestures, and hairstyles. As players level up they will also unlock new expansion slots and upgrade their abilities.
- An Unseen Threat: If players are not careful and draw too much attention to themselves, The Shape will come for them. You’ll need to stick together and look out for one another while it hunts you down. There’s one catch… You can only see The Shape by closing your eyes.
The Blackout Club Review
Essentially, the setting takes place in a place called RedAcre, where really weird, supernatural things begin to happen. All the parents and adults are controlled / being used by an entity called Speak-As-One, one of the 8 or so gods/demons/deities/entities that exist in the game.
As a new child to the Blackout Club it is up to you to make a character and figure out which of the eight gods you want to support. From playing the game regularly, you can earn an item called a ‘Lighter of Rebellion’ and you are capable of offering it as a tribute. When you do so, you are prompted to speak into a mirror, a prayer so to speak, and this message is delivered to the gods (played by the devs, or whomevere they hired to play the gods). And there is a chance they will invade your game… and respond back to you.
There is so much left unsaid about this game, there is almost always a drive to a mystery, there’s little information about the gods, so when you get that chance to actually communicate with one, BE READY to ask some important questions that can help you move to the next piece of the puzzle.
All in all, I’m very impressed with this game, and the ability it has to hook people. I look forward to seeing what else the developers add to the game. Easily worth the pricetag.
