Navigate spine-chilling environments – or guide your partner from the control van – in this communications-based co-op creepfest!
Paris, France – June 5th, 2026 – Game Atelier, the acclaimed studio behind Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom and Otherskin, are proud to unleash their asymmetrical horror game Follow Us today on Steam Early Access. In this hilarious and horrifying relationship stress test, one player explores a spooky environment, while another guides them remotely from the van, trying to keep their partner alive.
Follow Us is available at $10 / €10 / £9, with a 15% launch discount available for the first 7 days, bringing the price down to $8.50 / €8.50 / £7.65. The game also supports a Friend’s Pass, allowing a second player to join at no additional cost.
Each round begins with players choosing between two roles:
- The Explorer (EXY): Bravely navigate a deadly, haunted environment
- The Operator (OPY): Hang back safe in the van, hacking the playspace to protect their partner
Built on communication rather than complex mechanics, Follow Us creates tension by combining two different things: isolation and connection. Expect panic, shouting, and miscommunication. One wrong call can get your partner killed, and yes, it will probably be your fault. Each stage offers its own unique mechanics, ensuring that players are tasked with different types of communication-based challenges.
Available levels
- Ökaou (from the demo): A maze-like Ikea store. OPY guides EXY through the layout and can trigger light cameras to freeze the mannequins that come to life.
- A Night with DJ Susan (new): A “spot the difference” puzzle level: OPY and EXY don’t see quite the same thing, and players must communicate to identify the anomalies.
- Employee of the Month (new): An invincible enemy stalks EXY throughout the entire level. OPY controls doors and tracks the creature’s position through an electrical system to keep their partner alive.
Every mission plays with fear in a different way… but they all end the same way: shared panic, bad decisions, and laughter. The Explorer experiences isolation and danger in the field, while the operator suffers through helplessness and constant pressure. Every swap creates a fresh emotional scenario, making each playthrough completely different with unexpected communication conflicts guaranteed to create creepy co-op chaos! Using lo-fi chunky PSone-inspired graphics, everything in Follow Us aims for a clean, immediately legible aesthetic so anyone can hop right into the action and understand its horrific hijinks!
“You know when you’re watching a horror movie and you’re yelling ‘don’t go in there!’ to the characters on screen? Well imagine if that was an actual person you could communicate with in real time. That’s Follow Us,”said Hugo at Game Atelier.“One part horror game, one part heist movie, and all communications comedy, Follow Us effortlessly flows between high tension terror and hilarious hijinks. This Early Access launch will let players enjoy its first three stages and the game will constantly grow and evolve based on player feedback.”
The game is available in seven languages, with full text and menu localisation in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Turkish.
