In a world where blockbuster films often revolve around colossal monsters, imagine the chaos. Picture scenes reminiscent of “Cloverfield,” where citizens frantically dash to safety, yet only a few brave journalists stay behind to capture these rare, chaotic moments. The latest game, “The Headliners,” dives deep into this exhilarating concept. Players step into the shoes of these fearless reporters. What’s even cooler? It offers a multi-player mode, setting up a thrilling challenge to see who can withstand the lethal stress of the scene without bowing out first! Can you handle the heat? Join in and find out whose nerves are as tough as the stories they chase.
The Headliners, created by indie game developer KAFI, is a first-person survival horror action game that allows up to four players to join the fray simultaneously. Set during a colossal monster attack on New York City, players step into the fearless shoes of journalists vying to capture those front-page-worthy moments with their cameras, all while racing to escape the chaos alive. Each team member is equipped with a camera, ready to snap sensational shots—whether it’s alien invaders, monsters tearing through the cityscape, or even a bystander’s terrifying close-call with the creatures. The game even introduces an element of daredevil teamwork; you can coax your squad into risky scenarios to bag even more jaw-dropping footage. Get ready to capture the chaos and maybe, just maybe, make it out with your next big scoop.
Before the monsters hit the town, players can roam the streets of New York, slipping into buildings, scoping out each dark alley and hidden nook, keeping their eyes peeled for any bizarre happenings. You spend most of your time waiting for monsters, though… If you survive the onslaught, the game shifts to see whose photo snags the spotlight. The photos are judged on their ‘wow factor’ to allocate points, and the high scorers rake in cash. With this dough, you can bag better gear—think swankier cameras, beefier flashlights, and sturdier helmets—to boost your chances of making it out alive next time.
“The Headliners” has already dropped, now available on PC via Steam, and it supports Traditional Chinese.
