Jan. 2026
While it seems similar to others of it's style - Repo, Lethal Company etc - it does so many little things that elevate it to the game that has hooked our discord. So many items, features, or behaviors you question at first and then realize the role they play to add up to making this game something really special. When you have co-op mechanics that don't only encourage you playing together, but actually putting yourself in danger or dying for your team - so they can get that perfect picture? So good. This would be our discord's game of the year by far.

Photography is my passion. Watching my friends get hurt while silently waiting to capture it on camera is my guilty pleasure. This game gets two thumbs up.

Accidentally shut my brother in a room with a space alien and stole candid shots as he was brutally pressed against the glass and begged for assistance. 10/10 would recommend.

In this game you play as a journalist who risks their life to inform the public. This is to remind the you the game is fictional.

The Headlinders I think that despite many people overlooking this game because it looks (and to some extent is) like yet another clone of Lethal Company, it actually turned out quite decent. The replay value isn’t very high, but I find it hard to consider this an obvious flaw, as in today’s gaming landscape, where games are artificially stretched out, this isn’t the main criterion. What matters is that the game is fun while you play it, and in that regard, it does its job well. It’s an adventure for you and your friends that lasts about 5–10 hours, but overall, I think the concept turned out well. The small budget obviously worked against it, but still, the game managed to provide an interesting experience.
