7 Minutes in Hell is the latest co-op horror game on Steam that wants to get you screaming over proximity chat


When a videogame format works, videogame developers make sure we don’t forget it: After hits like Phasmophobia and Lethal Company, four-player co-op horror games are the genre du jour—next to extraction shooters, at least—and we now get a new one about about as often as Tim Sweeney says the word “metaverse.” The latest is 7 Minutes in Hell, which just released in early access on Steam and challenges up to four players to escape procedurally-generated death mazes with as much cash as they can pick up along the way.

With PC Gamer’s Chris Livingston and Andy Chalk beside me, I braved 7 Minutes In Hell’s labyrinths last week, and my early reaction is that it has good potential in the ‘making your Discord friends laugh/scream’ genre, but may need to better distinguish itself from its competition.
