Overview
Out of the Shadows is a 2–4 player online cooperative horror escape game developed and published by Lobster Games. Released on October 20, 2026, this first-person adventure drops you and your friends into unsettling locations where hostile inhabitants are not keen on uninvited guests.
The core loop is simple but tense: explore, solve puzzles, uncover the story, and find a way out—before the shadows close in.
Highlights
- Cooperative Horror: Designed for 2–4 players, the game emphasizes teamwork and communication. Making too much noise, getting isolated, or losing focus can be fatal.
- Puzzle-Filled Exploration: Progress depends on the group. Players may be separated, trapped, or given different pieces of information, requiring you to guide teammates from a distance and coordinate actions.
- Atmospheric Setting: Explore a large mansion and other disturbing locations, each with its own story to uncover. The tension is built through environmental storytelling and the constant threat of hostile inhabitants.
Who It's For
If you enjoy escape room challenges, atmospheric horror, and games that demand real communication, Out of the Shadows is a strong pick. It's perfect for groups of friends who like to solve puzzles under pressure and don't mind a few jump scares.
Solo players should note that cooperation is not optional—without teamwork, no one gets out.
