DON'T SCREAM TOGETHER’s multiplayer is the standout feature, praised in 23 out of 27 mentions, making co-op sessions genuinely entertaining. Yet the reception since launch tells a different story: only 36% of post-release reviews are positive. The game’s mixed overall rating of 50% positive also highlights sharp contradictions between its strengths and flaws.
What it's about: DON'T SCREAM TOGETHER est un jeu d’horreur coop en ligne où vous et vos amis parcourez une forêt dans l’obscurité totale avec des caméscopes en 1993. Utilisez le chat de proximité pour fuir. Si quelqu’un crie ou parle trop fort, la partie repart ou le fautif devient chasseur.
In-game
« Yes the mic system is a little difficult, but once you figure it out the jump scares are good and the open world searching is fun. Don't play the game for 20 mins and then bomb the game with bad reviews. It's fun if you give it a chance. »👍 anonymous review · 1 h played7221« the devs worked hard on this game, if you have the audacity to say to them " i hope the devs don't work on a another project again" you try to make a game then jerkoff. »👍 anonymous review · 2 h played11211« 10 minutes in with my buddies, creepy vibes, no scares. Game ended because we all simultaneously farted and our mics detected that. 10/10 »👍 anonymous review · 3 h played26321« no idea why theres negative reviews. just got this game today, graphics are insane, the imitation of my friends is spot on, its sooo much fun. »👍 anonymous review · 5 h played1111« I have played a lot of indie horrors with my friends. This one is one of the better. If you don't die from jumpscares, you die from laughing, seeing your friends dying. I will recommend it for the price. You wil die a lot. »👍 anonymous review · 3 h played1« buy this and one for your buddy, it will be the best 10 spent even if it was just for one night »👍 anonymous review · 1 h played1
« Initially seemed fun but it turns into a game where you’re just aimlessly walking towards objectives and if you make any sound too loud you peel over. Not even scary really it just feels like a walking simulator where you have to be quiet. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played21« Same jumpscare 5 times in a row. Oh, also the jpeg of the spider was scarier than any of the jumpscares »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played1« boring, not scary at all, just running from location to location, jump scares are predictable and therefore not scary. wouldn't recommend. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played1« It's just a walking simulator with mid jump scares that aren't even scary. It's just bad »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played1« Sah le jeu pue ca mère. Sur les video ça parait bien de ouf mais je jeu est nul, tu peux pas parler, ça bug. Passer votre chemin »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« Réactions super rapides des devs après le lancement qui ont réglé les problèmes qui rendaient le jeux injouable en même pas 24h. Jeu fun entre amis, à voir l'évolution au fil du temps Pour le prix je recommande évidemment! »👍 anonymous review · 2 h played

Verdict
DON'T SCREAM TOGETHER delivers on fun in multiplayer but crashes hard on performance and storytelling.

The blend of enjoyment and frustration locks the game in a balancing act it doesn’t always pull off.
