The Headliners

About

The Headliners is a co-op horror game where teams of 1 to 4 players take on the role of journalists chasing viral content in a city teeming with hostile creatures. You scavenge for gear, avoid or fight off threats, and prioritize capturing high-quality footage to boost your score. The challenge lies in balancing exploration with survival, rushing increases rewards but also danger. Each run mixes stealth, resource management, and quick decision making as you navigate shifting environments and unpredictable enemy behavior. The game stands out for its tense teamwork dynamics and escalating stakes. Early builds on Steam have earned a 78% positive rating as players praise the tight pacing and creative risk-reward system. What matters most is how players adapt: a reckless charge might net rare clips but could leave teammates stranded. With local and online co-op options, it leans into chaotic group play where communication is key. The art style and sound design amplify the claustrophobic horror, making every snap of a camera feel like a gamble.
