[June 2024]: Set up surveillance, log supernatural events and build your ritual to survive the night in DEATHWATCHERS, an unsettling online co-op “Spot the Difference”-style horror experience from Swain Games. Play co-op with up to three friends and investigate various haunted locations utilizing a wide array of equipment. Set the lighting, take photos, place video cameras, listen for voices in the void and use your trusty event logger to determine what type of entity you are facing and how best to defeat it, before it’s too late.
With multiple game modes fans of the 'classic' DEATHWATCH observation style gameplay won't miss out. The 'classic' game mode can also be played cooperatively with up to three friends, observe rooms via your monitors, log events and banish the entities using your favourite Ghost Zapper 2000!
Featuring up to four-player online co-op, a wide array of gear, events, and entities to banish, DEATHWATCHERS is an endlessly fresh and chilling experience. DEATHWATCHERS will be featured as a part of Steam Next Fest from June 10th-17th , offering a free playable demo, as well as a developer livestream.
