Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80.

, a co-op horror game in which you and your friends go viral or die trying, made an immediate splash when it launched on Steam on April 1. To an extent, that was unsurprising—it was free for the first 24 hours of release—but I don't think many people foresaw that it would go quite this big: The Content Warning team said more than 6.

Content Warning comes off at first glance as something of a gag game, and not just because of its release date. The trailer is pretty goofy, as is the whole game premise, and there's kind of a slapdash quality to it all—the sort of thing that says"made on the cheap by guys in a hurry." And it's not just that rep that carried Content Warning. Staff writer Morgan Park had enough of a good time with his first run through it that he resolved to talk friends into playing it with him later. He also found that despite its self-proclaimed horror styling, Content Warning is really"more like a cheesy reality ghost hunting show combined with Jackass." Which, frankly, sounds like a good time to me.

"We assure you that we are working on it," the team wrote."Content Warning is made by a very small team of devs so fixes may take a little while but we promise you we are doing our best to solve the issues."Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors
