What is The Headliners?

A first-person horror action game for solo play or online co-op with up to eight journalists, set in a New York attacked by mysterious creatures. During each expedition, you explore streets and buildings, photograph monsters and destruction, and escape; successful photos earn more press cards, while every expedition consumes one.

  • +you like risking your character for higher-value monster photos

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer solo play over group-focused co-op
  • −you dislike gore or teammates dying for better photos
  • −you want varied enemies and long-term replay variety
