Checked · Steam US Fix a fact

Content WarningR.E.P.O.MIMESIS

Lethal Company turned four friends, proximity voice chat and something nasty in the dark into a genre of its own.

These eight co-op horror games keep that setup, and every one of them works with a group of four.

Who it's for Friends who laugh more than they scream.

Content Warning is the closest thing to Lethal Company with a camera in your hand. You ride a diving bell down to the Old World, film every monster and cursed object you can find, and get back up before you run out of oxygen, camera battery or friends.

Then the footage goes up on SpöökTube and the group watches it together while the views tick up. Views pay for better gear, and a run lasts three in-game days, so you're always one good video from keeping your channel alive. It plays with two to four people online, and since April 2026 the Steam version has crossplay with the console versions on PlayStation 5, Xbox and Switch, though the developers paused it on Switch in late April and haven't said since that it's back.

  • Steam Deck Playable
  • Steam reviews Overwhelmingly Positive, 96%

Who it's for Groups of four to six who want physics chaos with their scares.

R.E.P.O. keeps Lethal Company's job: go into a haunted place, find valuables and get them out. The twist is that everything has real physics. You move pianos and fragile vases with a grabbing beam, so getting loot to the exit in one piece turns into a team task, with plenty of shouting.

Monsters follow the same physics rules, which leads to some strange fights. Money buys upgrades and weapons between levels, all handed out by the computer intelligence that employs you. Up to six people can play online with proximity voice chat, so a group of four has room for guests. It's still in Early Access.

  • Players Up to 4 players online, microphone required
  • Platforms PC
  • Released October 2025, still in Early Access
  • Steam Deck Verified
  • Steam reviews Mostly Positive, 78%

Who it's for Groups who love voice chat panic and want more of it.

MIMESIS is a four-player loot run where the monsters copy your friends. You search a building for anything valuable and haul it back to the tram, but the person walking next to you might be a monster wearing a teammate's face.

That's why it needs a microphone, and why the developers recommend four players. Toxic rain adds a clock, since the tram is your only shelter once night falls. It's in Early Access, and the reviews are more mixed than most picks here, but no other game on this list makes you doubt your own friends' voices like this.

Escape the Backrooms

Escape the Backrooms
  • Price on Steam (US) $9.99
  • Players Solo or up to 4 players online
  • Platforms PC
  • Released
  • Steam Deck Verified
  • Steam reviews Very Positive, 88%

Who it's for Groups who like the backrooms legend and getting lost together.

Escape the Backrooms drops up to four players into the endless rooms from the internet legend. Each of its 30-plus levels has its own way out and its own hostile entities, and you have to learn how each one behaves before you can get past it.

The rule that changes everything is that the whole team has to reach the exit alive. Teammates can no-clip into other parts of the map, and entities can hear your proximity chat, so wandering off or talking too loud are both real risks. Steam also lists a single-player mode, but it's made for a full team.

  • Steam reviews Mixed, 66%

Who it's for Four friends who want a sillier, internet-themed run.

OK Boomer sends a crew of four analog tech fans into the depths of the internet. Each run is a procedurally generated level based on a corner of the web, from filtered social feeds down to the dark web, and the deeper you go, the bigger and meaner the maze gets.

The longer you stay, the more your crew's minds slip. You might hear footsteps that aren't there or see a friend as an enemy. You fight back by hacking traps, setting off hidden logic bombs and using weapons themed after each platform. It entered Early Access in June 2026 and has far fewer reviews than the big names here, so read the newest ones first.

DEVOUR
  • Price on Steam (US) $9.99

  • Steam Deck Verified
  • Steam reviews Very Positive, 90%

Who it's for Teams who want a clear goal and a tight time limit.

DEVOUR gives your group one job: stop possessed cultists before they drag you to hell. You spread out to find ritual items around the map while you're being hunted, and a full session can last up to an hour, so it feels more like a hard mission than an endless loop.

Each map brings a new form of the goat demon Azazel, with new areas, items and rituals. It's built for one to four players, and the developers call single-player mode one for hardcore players only. If your group likes Lethal Company's quota pressure, the race against the clock here will feel familiar.

Labyrinthine
  • Price on Steam (US) $9.99

  • Steam Deck Verified
  • Steam reviews Very Positive, 85%

Who it's for Groups who like puzzles mixed in with their chases.

Labyrinthine starts in an abandoned hedge maze and keeps getting stranger. The story mode follows Joan, a mysterious fairground worker, while the case files are procedurally generated mazes that get harder with every investigation.

You solve puzzles, collect items and run from more than 30 monsters, each with its own behavior. It supports one to eight players online, so a group of four has room to grow. If your friends liked the exploring part of Lethal Company more than the scrap selling, this one fits.

  • Price on Steam (US) $9.99

  • Released
  • Steam Deck Playable
  • Steam reviews Very Positive, 83%

Who it's for Groups who want co-op horror that's mostly comedy.

YAPYAP turns you and up to five friends into a wizard's minions. Your job is to break into a rival's tower and ruin their night: smash the piano, clog the toilets and hit a vandalism target while creatures patrol the halls.

Spells are cast with your voice, so you have to say the incantation clearly while something chases you. There are spells to push, float, teleport, clone, disguise and even turn things into fish. It came out in February 2026, and it's the lightest game on this list, closest to Lethal Company's silly side.

Very Positive: 83% positive out of 4,072 English reviews (8,814 reviews in all languages).

For a group that's new to the genre, Content Warning is the gentlest start. If you want the loot runs, go for R.E.P.O. or MIMESIS. If you want a harder, mission style game, try DEVOUR.

Phasmophobia is the other big name people pair with Lethal Company. We put it under Also worth a look, since most groups looking for something new have already played it.
