Terrifying multiplayer horror sensation Lethal Company just dropped a festive update jam-packed with new hysterical and haunting surprises. We’re talking dramatic masks with minds of their own, nutty nutcrackers packing heat, even optional “spider” censorship for the arachnophobic.
Despite still being in early access, this indie scare factory continues expanding its arsenal of weapons, tools and terror in clever ways. Take the fresh addition of chemistry flasks – seemingly handy for concocting explosives or remedies alike via on-the-fly crafting. Then there’s the freshly-armed Christmas crackers skittering about with questionable intentions. I adore the ambiguity – saint, sinner or simply spirited prankster?
But the new equipable masks steal the show, latching onto players with a mind of their own like a certain off-brand SCP. At best you’ve got a creepy new facepalming friend; at worst, a soul-stealing passenger eager to sabotage your crew. As if getting pounced by spiders and giants wasn’t nerve-wracking enough!
Speaking of which, arachnophobes can officially toggle spidery foes into floating “spider” labels now, preserving the jolt without the skin-crawling imagery. After all, traumatizing players in actual reality defeats the escapist point here.
So fear not, thrillseekers – whether mocking masks, armed holiday hazards or relaxed spider settings tickle your twisted fancy, Lethal Company’s latest holiday patch has your adrenaline fix covered. The devs even wrapped a bow on it with well-wishes for peace, joy and many more frights to come. Talk about heartwarming horror cheer!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I suddenly feel the urge to bake dozens of creepy cookies for my not-at-all possessed new mask buddy here. What holiday fun!
