1 min read

Question (indie studio with veterans of the Bioshock series, Disohonored, Eldritch and more) have the first major update of 2019 for The Blackout Club going live this Friday, January 18th!

Your friend has gone missing. Something is amiss in Redacre and the adults aren’t listening. It’s up to you and your high school friends to figure it out. The Blackout Club is a 1-4 player horror co-op game all about working together and trying to unveil the dark secrets beneath the surface of Redacre.

The boogeyman known as Angel looks over Redacre. All-seeing as the adults report the sins of the youth trying to unveil the cultish activities happening in the town. Those committing the most faults are hunted by this entity, which is only visible when you close your eyes. Captured players have shared stories of hearing voices and waking up in their beds with signs of blackout activity, or “lost time.” Others report demonic messages written across their mind’s eye.

Are these lucid memories or just the excitement of playing getting to people’s heads?
