Lethal Company is a multiplayer horror game, it's newer, having been released in October 2023. The creator, Zeekers has previous work on the popular platform, Roblox. The game started to gain popularity on Steam on November 19 when people were looking for a game to play during winter breaks. This will be my review of the game.

Lethal Company is an indie game whose creator is an independent worker. Indie games are typically known to focus more on the game's art style, rather than the graphics. The graphics I think are supposed to add a scary effect to the game, like static, and other aspects that create anticipation and fear.

In a horror game, background music and sounds are very important, they can add dramatic, horrifying feelings to the game. Some noises are better than others, for instance, some monster sounds can easily be compared to others. One of my favorites is the slime, it sounds very realistic to what I believe a live slime could. Another good example of the sounds in the game is when the player is looking for scraps, I like the sound effect it gives to other players, giving the game a more real feel.

When looking at the maps in Lethal Company, it's comparable to Minecraft with the random seeds they give you. I like that it has different maps because it gives you something every time, combating boredom, instead of if the setting was constantly the same. Some maps have more or fewer monsters than the previous, and the maps have different habitats, which adds a nice variety.

When facing monsters what can you do? With the company credits you can earn, you can get tools to help you with this like weapons and flashlights. The flashlights help a lot for the game to be scary. The jack in the box is an expectation for the weapons, and the only option is to run away.

I haven't met a lot of monsters yet, but so far I think the eyeless dog is the scariest. There is a total of 19 monsters, all are different and have some very cool ways of attacking you. The scanners are a big help with this though when you can see in the dark it helps a lot with finding scraps and monsters. However, the scanner doesn't work with the ghost girl.

In general, the game is not very hard. They don’t give new players a very good explanation of what to do. But I think it's best to play with other people, you can very easily join a public server and play with new people. The reason I think you should play public or even with friends is cause it makes the game a lot less scary and it's easier to unlock new moons to go to. I like this game and think it's worth downloading. So far it's only available on PC, but it's on the reliable game engine: Steam.
