Hi everyone, In this small update for the game, we have patched a bug with the newest generation of Intel chips, which was causing the game to crash upon startup. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32222500/673251208c65d42606912ea34dfcab0a73c8026b.png Additionally, the Mask cosmetics representing each of the Voices in the game were previously awarded by Enhanced Horror encounters only. Due to the limited uptime we have had for this activity during the pandemic, the masks were not equally available to players in every time zone. Now, through experimentation with The Place Between, all players can earn access t

The Blackout Club Cursed Update is live! The town of Redacre is isolated in the Radio Quiet Zone — but the shadow of a new threat has fallen across it. The locals dare not even speak its name...You’ll have to be extra careful and quick when running around the neighborhood, because not only did we add two new missions, but also the ability to pick up Cursed Ciphers (making your mission harder and more rewarding), the mysterious Place Between and more.

The Blackout Club December Update is live! It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Redacre. While our December update won’t be as large as the spooktacular Halloween update, we still delivered a few special gifts for you this holiday season. You can expect a new mission, a new prestige ranking system, new additions to the store and more.

Gods tend to be a bit on the quiet side. You can leave ’em a voice-mail, but it’s rare enough that they’ll ever answer back. For some of The Blackout Club‘s teen detectives, though, the gods have been quite vocal indeed. Question’s co-op horror has a trick up its sleeve. The supernatural forces of 80s suburbia have been sliding into voice chat, turning spooky multiplayer adventures into a strange sort of participatory theatre. (more…)

The Blackout Club provides a unique and ever-evolving “Live Storytelling” experience thanks to the innovative Enhanced Horror System (EHS). We use the term “Live Storytelling” to describe our strategy of allowing players to interact with fictional characters of our game world (Daimons) in a completely improvisational way using live performers, and having those performers reply with detail and nuance. The world of The Blackout Club keeps changing and any encounters with these Daimons are ephemeral and one-of-a-kind. The game's narrative centers on a mercurial relationship between these Daimons

The Blackout Club is a multiplayer horror game about teenagers sneaking around at night trying to avoid sleepwalking adult cultists in their hometown of Redacre. If you opt-in to its "Enhanced Horror" setting The Blackout Club will have access to your microphone, listening in so that the developers can mess with you personally. Spoilers follow, as these interactions are revealing both the game's lore and unfolding a plot as it happens. Most recently they've involved a being called DANCE-FOR-US (DFU for short) who is an ally of the players, encouraging them to dance and not

The Blackout Club Halloween Update is live! Redacre has undergone a spooktacular transformation for the Halloween season. Sneering pumpkins, festive lights, witches and ghouls adorn the houses of Hoadly, but that’s not all of the treats we have in store for you. You can expect three new missions, stealth gameplay tweaks, and new additions to the store like Halloween masks, spooky shirts and hideout decorations.

Taiwanese game Detention (now sadly removed from sale) begins in a school, with a student who's fallen asleep in class. It's a straightforward and relatable scenario. Then that student wakes up, alone but for one other student asleep in the auditorium, during the start of a supernatural typhoon. The colors are muted and dark, and everything's in shadows.  This is 1960s Taiwan, and as the game goes on the school changes. It becomes a corpse-filled world entrenched in horror and history during Taiwan's "White Terror," a 38-year-long period of martial law. Deten

Developer: Question Games Publisher: Question Games Release: Out now On: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One From: Steam Price: 24/$30/ 25 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 Blackout Club is a co-operative crouch 'em-up that sees up-to four players assume the role of wily American teenagers who form a backwoods society dedicated to figuring out what the heckin' flip is wrong with their neighbourhood. Why do they keep waking up in strange places with blood on their clothes? Why are their parents sleepwalking in the street at night? And what is that weird-ass music emanating from underneath their homes? A lazy person might describe it as Thief meets Left4Dead. A lazy person, but also a correct one. Setting up their headquarters in an abandoned rail-carriage, eac

If your cult leans into a certain kind of kooky, pop culture has taught me there’s a good chance some kids will come after you. The brave stalwarts of The Blackout Club have spent the past eight months defending humanity from the weakened prism of early access, but now the game’s properly out and they’ll have to step up their game. The spooky, co-opey stealth and hijinks ’em up is marking its launch with a new area. That would be a daycare centre, described by developers Question as “perfectly normal”. Mhmmmm. (more…)

Spooky co-op stealth ’em up The Blackout Club leaves early access on July 30th, after a short but busy run of updates. For those fashionably late (or just on time, really) to the party, it’s a four-player (or five, with invasions) immersive sim about a band of teens investigating a very haunted town. Here, sleeping townsfolk rise with eyes still closed, don masks and perform strange rituals in the streets and the tunnels below the town. It’s developed by Question (The Magic Circle) with a team including talent from Thief, Bioshock 2 and Eldritch – these folks know their

The co-op horror game The Blackout Club, about a group of kids investigating a horrific mystery in their spooky neighborhood, made a big impression when we looked at it last year, just ahead of its October 2018 launch on Steam Early Access: James called it "a legitimately terrifying cooperative game where the horror emerges from clever systems and enemies designed to ratchet up the tension using the same clear, unrelenting logic of the best movie monsters." That's pretty high praise, and there have been multiple updates since then, which have fixed bugs and made performance impr
