R.E.P.O. is the Viral Meme Horror Game Taking Steam by Storm

R.E.P.O., a darkly humorous cooperative horror game, is making waves on Steam. Released in Early Access on February 26th, this title tasks players with retrieving valuable items from monster-infested locations. The developers anticipate an Early Access period lasting six to twelve months.

This meme-rich, cooperative horror experience is shattering Steam records and attracting overwhelmingly positive feedback. Boasting over 6,000 reviews, a remarkable 97% are positive.

Players highlight the game's unique blend of humor and engaging gameplay. The advanced physics engine, particularly its role in object transportation, receives significant praise. Many compare R.E.P.O. favorably to the popular Lethal Company, suggesting it represents a compelling evolution of similar concepts, rather than a simple imitation.

The game's popularity is undeniable, with daily record-breaking concurrent player counts. Yesterday's peak reached a staggering 61,791 players, surpassing even weekend numbers on Monday, a testament to its viral success.
