Developer Question is comprised of industry veterans featuring BioShock 2’s creative director and lead writer; the Senior Gameplay Programmer of Dishonored; and the Lead Effects Artist for BioShock Infinite. They have crafted a story concerning a group of teens who experience mysterious shared blackouts. Together, the teens uncover a conspiracy of occult-obsessed adults who have turned the town’s population into sleepwalkers.

They also discover a maze of tunnels beneath their idyllic town. They’ll need to capture the conspiracy on camera and prove its existence to the world.

Jordan Thomas, co-founder, Question: In The Blackout Club, the horror genre comes home,” said Jordan Thomas, Co-Founder, Question LLC. “Our story is about vulnerable heroes – for whom co-op gameplay is a matter of survival – who unite to save their friends.

Thomas continues: Since we revealed The Blackout Club, the response has both astonished and humbled us. First person experiences with deeply expressive systems are our lifeblood – and with The Blackout Club, we bring that freedom to the co-op arena. Together, human players combine their powers in ways that surprise even the game’s designers – and the world is so terrifying that they’ll need every ounce of that creativity to survive. We can’t wait to see how a whole new audience of players react, now that it’s available through Steam Early Access.

Currently, the Windows version is available at a time-limited discount on Steam Early Access. The game’s final version will be released in Q1 2019 for Windows, PS4 and Xbox One.
