One player navigates scary levels while another guides them in asymmetrical horror game Follow Us
Communication is key in this horrifying and hilarious co-op creepfest
Paris, France - January 7th, 2025 - Game Atelier, the acclaimed studio behind Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, have revealed their upcoming asymmetrical horror game Follow Us. In this hilarious and horrifying relationship stress test, one player explores a spooky environment, while another guides them remotely from the van, trying to keep their partner alive.
Each round lets players choose whether they want to play as the intrepid Explorer - who bravely navigates a deadly, haunted map - or the Operator, who hangs back to guide their comrade and hack the playspace to protect them. Built on communication rather than complex mechanics, Follow Us creates tension by combining two different things - isolation and connection with a partner.
Every mission explores a different type of fear, from psychological tension to pure dread. The Explorer experiences isolation and danger in the field, while the operator suffers through helplessness and constant pressure. Every swap creates a fresh emotional scenario, making each playthrough completely different with unexpected communication conflicts guaranteed to create creepy co-op chaos!
"With Follow Us we wanted to build a horror game where communication is the key to survival," said FeiBi at Game Atelier. "Every mission becomes a live stress test for friendship and relationships. Friends and couples alike may find the game generating unexpected hilarious and horrifying reactions as players switch roles and power dynamics. Furthermore, the asymmetrical nature of the game makes it perfect for players where one player likes being spooked, while the other prefers a more casual, albeit chaotic, experience of overseeing an operation from afar. So there's something for everyone!"
