The development dream team at Question have revealed their latest creation, The Blackout Club.
Touted as a cooperative paranormal horror game, the studio’s second game places players in the shoes of a group of small-town teens who have been experiencing mysterious blackouts—sometimes lasting for multiple days—and memory loss. After none of the adults in town show concern following the disappearance of one of their friends, the crew band together to investigate to uncover what their sleepy little town is hiding, uncovering a conspiracy along the way that stretches throughout the town and the population that lies underneath it.
The game is a product of the creative director and lead writer of Bioshock 2, the senior gameplay programmer of Dishonored and the lead effects artist of Bioshock Infinite, and maintains the unique voice and development Question established with its first game, The Magic Circle.
The rebellious teens are charged with getting evidence of the conspiracy on camera in order to expose it to the world, but that task won’t be easy. Up to four players will have to work together to sneak out of their homes and conduct surveillance missions while working through procedurally generated enemy encounters, variable objectives and loot drops in an effort to find their missing friend and blow the lid off of the ominous nature of their town.
