Content Warning, the new viral game from Steam, has received a first nice update with completely free content, welcome improvements as well as several fixes.
Trends come and go. On Steam more than elsewhere, it is not uncommon to see games completely explode the counters. If AAA has nothing to be ashamed of, the best performances often come from small indie games that we didn’t see coming, most of the time anyway. This is further evidenced by Palworld, a survival game often compared to Pokémon, which has literally destroyed the counters of the Valve platform. But lately, a drastically different indie game has gone viral following a completely free launch on Steam.
Content Warning is a hit on Steam, a big success
It is Content Warning, a cooperative game mixing fun and horror a bit like Lethal Company, another sensation from a few months ago. The objective here is to play extreme videographer and travel through different environments in search of creepy, creepy events and whatever else you want, then immortalize them and then put them on the web with the sole aim of go viral. In your hands, the entire arsenal of the extreme videographer with what you need in terms of selfie stick, portable camera and other devices to ensure you make the most beautiful horrific Stories on the Internet.
With such a fun pitch, simple and addictive gameplay and a fun-with-friends formula, the game found an audience almost immediately, catapulted by a full weekend of free play on Steam and of course, a horde of streamers who jumped at the opportunity. As a result, more than 6.2 million players have tried the adventure on Steam and Content Warning is now viral. Its developer is rather proud of it and clearly did not expect such success, so the start was somewhat chaotic.
A first big update with free content
In any case, Content Warning does not intend to stop there and free content is arriving shortly in an update which will also take the opportunity to correct a few minor problems in the process.
The patch adds several objects including a reporter microphone, an audio player and even a confetti cannon to shine in society. Some balancing is also included, particularly regarding the prices of emotes or the addition of options for the mouse.
All of this is already available for free via a simple update and according to the developers, others will follow very soon! In particular, expected are fixes aimed at improving in-game voice recognition, an end to connection problems which can end the game or simply fire the host, as well as clear improvements with camera rendering. There is still a lot of work left since the bugs are still numerous (although sometimes amusing), but it will happen soon.
