Who it's for

Cooperative groups who want a long, silly premise carried by a genuinely demanding survival structure.

Not for you if…

You want a serious horror tone, or a two hour cooperative game with a joke premise is not how your table spends an evening.

Vibe's take

Absurd and surprisingly tense – you laugh at the premise right up until the night phase makes it very clear how outnumbered you are.
