In this video, I talk about the indie multiplayer online co-op horror game: LETHAL COMPANY. This game is one of the most scary, cursed, and funny horror games ever made, and I discuss why in this video. It also includes some funny gameplay moments of me playing SOLO lethal company, which was TERRIFYING. I also rank and explain every enemy in the game, which I'm gonna turn into like a million tiktoks probably. SUBSCRIBE!!!
Lethal Company is an early access co-op survival horror game created and developed by Zeekerss. The game takes place in a retrofuturistic post-apocalyptic universe, where players take on the role of contracted employees working for a corporation called “The Company", collecting scrap from abandoned, industrialized moons, while having to avoid traps, environmental hazards, and monsters. They have three days to meet the Company's profit quota.

[@tbonestabz4563]

Your point about horror games focusing on the gameplay section and being less reliant on scripted events made me think back on FNAF, it felt more like a game rather than an experience. Yes, it still utilized the "in your face jumpscares", but even then it still had the ambience and isolation like this game does. I suppose that why I love both games! Great video!

[@MysteryGeek2006]

I think what made Fnaf unique at the time was when horror games were trying to be edgy, with old catacombs and gross looking monsters that are obviously inspired by Silent Hill

[@shibainu2528]

@@MysteryGeek2006 It also focused on what I think was an unused part of horror. You've got "fight" horror, like Cry of Fear, Resident Evil, and in some aspects Half Life. You've got "flight" horror, like Amnesia, SCP CB, and Slender. But I don't think they touched on the less talked about third type of scare reactions... "freeze" Instead of seeing something scary then shooting it to get past or running in the opposite direction, you stay where you are and defend yourself from that location using limited resources.

[@MysteryGeek2006]

[@SordidusFellatio]

So basically horror games where it’ll mainly only attracts childrens. No wonder this game have so high density of childrens in it’s community, and by children I mean 10 to 16 years old childrens, kinda like how Minecraft is.

[@shibainu2528]

@@SordidusFellatio To be fair, 90% of the videos you see on KZbin are unscripted, not an act, and have adults playing it. It's popular, all the popular youtubers are playing it, it has co-op multiplayer, of course it's going to bring in a lot of "young" people whether the developer intended to or not. TL;DR - Stop gatekeeping, and let people have fun laughing at their friend's screams while being chased by a skull in a wind-up box. Just because it doesn't appeal to you, doesn't mean it doesn't appeal to many other adults.

Thank you Mr. MewZe for putting me into S-Tier along with my good pals, Ghost Girl, Masked, and Eyeless Dogs. I also agree that the locust is Super S-Tier.

[@mreverything7056]

For me, what really sells this game is how well the visuals and audio are both used to give you "haha funny moments" and then immediatley rip it all away, then give it back, rinse and repeat. The Bracken and Coil Heads are great examples. The bracken has very distinct noises when you see it (the rustling leaves), and its bright white eyes means you can make it out in the darkness. That very noise strengthens the fact that its a stealth killer, and you could go from discussing plans with your friends to seeing a trail of blood and items. Coil Heads show their speed with the signature spring of their coils, and your first instinct is naturally to try and back away from it. You quickly learn its Mr. Popato, but it becomes even more scary when you consider that you could moonwalk into a mine or the Bracken could be behind you to ruin your run. Also, thank goodness the audio is actually BALANCED WELL, and loud noises aren't used for every way you die. If the Bracken did a FNaF screech at me everytime it snapped my neck, I would hate it so much more.

[@GratissTVofficial]

MAN? this is hands down one of the best edited videos i've watched this year, im absolutely in love with the game and your video editing style.

[@justinlindfors8512]

Horror games consist of key components that labels them as such, such as monsters or hostile entities. What makes lethal company stand out is the ever growing quota forcing you to face such entities while facing literal expulsion from space. Most horror games have some kind of existential dread being usually death by a creature, but lethal company forces you to do your job/objective with failure not being an option!

[@jaxondumo]

because of that it also forces you to learn more about the monsters and be more effecient with dealing with them

[@justinlindfors8512]

My personal favourite experience in lethal company was when on rend (on stormy conditions) and a friend just sprinting towards us (screaming) with a bell just sparking in his hands and somehow managing to kill all 3 of us scavengers.

Fun fact: there’s a mod called huntdown, which make so that instead of lethal company, you hunting company, you’ll need to hunt a certain killeable creature. If you’re unlucky enough, the target will be things such as ‘’last month’s intern’’ which is an army of mask zombies, or ‘’a good boy’’ which gets the dog INSIDE THE FACILITY, Now a dog inside the facility, i got that, it was nightmare fuel. There’s also a mod to make the interior a castle, there’s another to make it a military base, (its not always a military base, sometimes it switch back to facility, (those mods are, scoopy’s variety pack and more interiors)
