New Co-op Shooter Traps You Underground With Tentacled Horrors

Gag Order flips the typical survival horror formula by forcing you to hunt down the monsters instead of fleeing them. You're part of a research facility's Guardian Unit, responding to a distress call only to find yourself facing invincible tentacled creatures in the opening phase. The game unfolds across two distinct phases: an evasive first half where your weapons offer only defensive cover, followed by a "fast paced team boss-fight" where coordinated takedowns become possible.

Designed explicitly for cooperative play, Gag Order draws spiritual lineage from titles like Lethal Company with its blend of dread and teamwork. The atmosphere pulls from SCP Foundation aesthetics, complete with unsettling details like abandoned office spaces inhabited by crow colonies. Raycast Games is targeting an end-of-2026 release window, positioning the shooter as a contemporary take on 2000s-era shooters with modern mechanical design.
