Content Warning is a recent addition to the world of co-op horror games. This game quickly attracted a sizable audience, thanks to an aggressive marketing strategy that included giving the game away for free within the first 24 hours. Even now, the game is priced at just $7.99.
Content Warning was developed by a team known for creating humorous simulators like Totally Accurate Battle Simulator and Totally Accurate Battlegrounds. As expected, the game carries a strong comedic element, setting it apart from other co-op horror titles.

Inside the Backrooms is a popular co-op horror game centered around the concept of the backrooms - mysterious spaces with no apparent purpose existing outside conventional reality. Players navigate similar environments, evading enemies while searching for an escape route.
Although the backrooms setting is relatively new, several developers have dedicated games to it, with many others drawing inspiration from it. Games like the co-op hit Lethal Company showcase this influence. Inside the Backrooms has risen to prominence among a sea of backroom-themed games, making it a must-try for Content Warning enthusiasts.
