WE ARE SO DEAD

For only $5, this game is honestly a steal. My friends and I have had a ton of fun playing it, especially when one of us gets to be the ghost and we have to come up with random “codewords” to help each other out without giving too much away. There’s something really fun about trying to communicate while also knowing the hunt could start at any moment. I’ve also really enjoyed the different demon types so far. I haven’t beaten the game yet, but we’ve made it pretty far, and I’m still having a great time with it. You can tell the developers genuinely care about the game and have put a lot of thought into it. What I appreciate most is actually seeing the devs interact with and listen to the community, which you don’t always get with smaller games. For the price, there’s really not much to complain about. If you have a few friends to play with, I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot. It’s been a lot of fun so far!

Incredibly silly and fun. Love that it gets difficult. The tense "oh my gosh please work" moments are precisely what I want.

My friends and I love little "friend-slop" games. But this one had us challenged the entire time. A game that requires teamwork and communication with high rewards of dopamine when you actually get it right is alot more fun than just...climbing up a mountain or driving an RV. The levels are difficult AF, but if you've got good communication skills? It'll probably work well. That being said, we all hate "Turn". No clue how we get that to work sometimes outside of just always having 2 people dead off rip x'D It'd be nice to also find a way to adjust my friend's personal microphones in game instead of just lobby or waiting area. Otherwise, this is a fun game and has potential to be more fun down the line. We got stuck at floor 7 and despite stream being over we kept playing to ensure we'd get past it before finishing and saving the rest for another day lmao

A great game with an interesting concept and execution. It has incredible potential, although at this stage it doesn't feel like a game you'd play with friends in a single evening. The developer is a wonderful person who instantly helped me fix a problem with launching the game, it took literally just a couple of minutes. I recommend buying it.

WE ARE SO DEAD approaches cooperative horror with a clever idea that makes being dead almost as important as staying alive. Developed and published by REAL PLAYERS, it is designed around online cooperation for two to eight players, with one participant beginning each session as a ghost. Instead of making that player a passive observer, the game gives the dead information that the living cannot obtain themselves. The ghost can see the demon, recognize dangerous areas, locate important objectives, and understand where the group needs to go, but cannot simply communicate this knowledge through ordinary speech. This creates an unusual imbalance where one side possesses information while the other has the physical ability to act on it. Communication is consequently the centerpiece of the experience. Ghosts can hear living players and other ghosts, but the living cannot hear them. The dead must therefore attract attention through environmental interactions such as flickering lights and other paranormal signals, with the séance board serving as the most dependable method of delivering complete messages. Moving the planchette across letters sounds simple until several frightened players are trying to interpret the message while a supernatural threat is nearby. Misreading a warning can transform useful information into complete nonsense, giving the game a natural comedic quality without undermining its horror atmosphere. The objective structure makes good use of this communication barrier. Living players must explore the haunted environment, collect the appropriate relics, and bring them back to the séance board while relying on guidance from teammates who can perceive dangers they cannot. This creates genuine interdependence. The ghost may know exactly where something important is located but cannot retrieve it, while the living can interact with everything yet lack the supernatural awareness required to navigate safely. Successful groups therefore need patience and an ability to understand each other's increasingly desperate attempts at communication. Banishment provides a particularly fitting conclusion to each encounter. After the required relics have been collected, the demon's true name becomes visible only to the dead. The ghost must communicate that name through the board, after which the living players have to reproduce it correctly to complete the ritual. The mechanic turns what would normally be a straightforward final objective into another test of trust and interpretation. A single incorrectly understood letter can create panic, and the resulting mistakes should produce some of the game's funniest moments precisely because failure still carries consequences. Death is handled especially well within this concept. Players killed during an attempt do not simply sit on the sidelines waiting for everyone else to finish. Instead, they join the supernatural side and can help the existing ghosts search for relics, identify dangers, and warn survivors. This keeps eliminated participants engaged while dynamically changing the balance of a session. More dead teammates can mean additional information for the survivors, but it can also result in several ghosts competing to communicate simultaneously. The mechanic effectively turns failure into another stage of participation rather than conventional elimination. Progression takes the group downward through nine increasingly deep floors of the haunted house. Banishing a demon allows players to move farther into the structure, providing an understandable sense of advancement while maintaining the repeating cycle of investigation, relic collection, communication, and banishment. The procedural qualities of the floors are important for replayability because a multiplayer horror game based heavily on uncertainty would lose much of its effectiveness if every objective and danger could simply be memorized. Different groups should also create substantially different experiences because the central communication mechanic depends heavily on human behavior. Its mixture of psychological horror, survival elements, investigation, exploration, and comedy gives the experience a distinctive social identity. The premise does not depend entirely on elaborate scripted scares. Much of the tension comes from knowing that somebody on the team understands the danger but cannot clearly explain it. Likewise, much of the humor emerges organically when players confidently misunderstand a ghost's warning and suffer the consequences seconds later. This makes it particularly suitable for friends who enjoy cooperative games where conversation and improvisation generate memorable situations. There are potential weaknesses inherent in the concept. Players who dislike communication-heavy multiplayer experiences may find the intentionally restricted information frustrating, while highly coordinated groups could eventually become efficient enough to reduce some of the intended chaos. The effectiveness of repeated sessions will also depend on how well procedural variation and different demons prevent familiarity from replacing fear. Still, the decision to make communication difficulties an actual gameplay system rather than an incidental multiplayer problem gives the experience a recognizable personality. Steam Deck compatibility deserves some caution. The Steam page does not currently provide a clear official Steam Deck compatibility rating, so it should not be described as Verified or Playable without confirmation from Valve. The game's emphasis on online multiplayer and communication also means that a Deck session would need to accommodate those social features comfortably. Players primarily interested in handheld play should therefore check the current Steam Deck compatibility status before relying on it as their main platform. Overall, this is an imaginative cooperative horror concept that understands how entertaining failure can become when friends are involved. Making ghosts useful, forcing the living to trust incomplete supernatural messages, and incorporating the demon's name directly into the final ritual gives the gameplay loop a strong thematic consistency. Its greatest attraction is not merely surviving a haunted house, but attempting to cooperate with teammates who possess exactly the information you need and almost no convenient way to deliver it. For the right group, that combination of fear, confusion, teamwork, and ridiculous misunderstandings has considerable potential for memorable multiplayer sessions. Rating: 7/10

Game isnt that bad. It requires teamwork and communication. I pray I die first every game lol.

Tem um pequeno bug que as vezes acontece no tabuleiro de você não conseguir mexer a peça ou ter muita dificuldade de selecionar a letra que precisa, mas no geral é um jogo muito bom!
