![]() ![]() At one point, all four of us sneak up on a group of four enemies and execute this action simultaneously: we cheer for exploding brains in perfect harmony. At this point, you need to charge up your melee weapon until it’s at the peak of its power and relentlessly hammer down on your unsuspecting foe’s vulnerable crown. Once you see or hear this you must immediately stop dead in your tracks: as you make your slow approach, crouched and creeping, you have to move only when the enemy isn’t currently detecting.Īt the end of your stealthy trajectory is the monster itself, no longer capable of knowing how close it is to death by your valiant hand. While in this state, they enter detection mode, where they puff out their incandescent chests and emit a sort of keening sound. ![]() It’s a gun game that says, “this is a gun, but you might be better off not shooting it, idiot.”Īesthetically similar to Clickers from The Last of Us, enemies tend to be asleep before you approach them. You’ve also got barely any ammo: if you’re forced to spend a full clip because you aggro a potentially innocuous horde, you’ll be worse for wear the next time you find yourself in a pinch. In GTFO, stealth is almost always preferable to entering a fight guns blazing.

Vinternatt explains that many co-op games allow players to venture off on their own without repercussion: you’re on a team because the game tells you that you are, not because you have to work alongside one another to survive. ![]() “Several of us come from backgrounds developing co-op games, but with GTFO we wanted to pull it up a notch,” developer Svante Vinternatt tells me.

Three other encasings like yours meet in the centre of a labyrinthine facility, and, all at once, you’re plummeted into the darkest recesses of The Complex - the Warden has a task for you.
