I’m glad no one heard me whimpering on my first mission for The Blackout Club. I was by myself at this point, scurrying through an underground labyrinth full of sleepwalkers and foreboding. I tiptoed within inches of their sightless faces, all the while pursued by a being I could only see when I closed my eyes.
Then my friends joined me, and most of that tension was swept away on a tide of grappling hook japes. Cooperative immersive sim horror has its ups and downs.
