Gag Order is a co-op, SCP-ish horror shooter about surviving as best you can against some nasty, tentacle covered cephalopod creatures
Gag Order is a co-operative horror shooter that reverses traditional survival game dynamics by casting players as the hunted rather than the hunter. The game features a grotesque, tentacle-covered cephalopod creature that relentlessly pursues players throughout the experience, drawing inspiration from SCP Foundation-style horror. Rather than simply fleeing for their lives, players must balance evasion with completing objectives, including tracking down a distress signal while being stalked by the creature.
The game’s design shares similarities with titles like Lethal Company, emphasizing high-tension, unfriendly gameplay where cooperation is essential but survival remains uncertain. The co-operative focus suggests teamwork will be crucial for any hope of success against the hostile creature.
Gag Order taps into a lineage of horror games that challenge conventional monster-hunting mechanics. While many horror titles position players as fighters or refugees from monsters, Gag Order instead embraces the vulnerability and desperation of being genuinely hunted by a horrifying entity, prioritizing atmospheric dread over combat-focused mechanics.
