This Horror Game Plays Like The World's Scariest Game Show, And It's Out Today
7 Minutes in Hell comes from the team behind Goose Goose Duck, and it's sort of like if Lethal Company was hosted by Bob Barker

Now Playing: 7 Minutes in Hell - Official Debut Trailer
The game can be played alone, but also in co-op, and there's a strong emphasis on social elements, like deciding to ditch the group and escape with your earnings even if it means leaving everyone else in the (literal) dark. With only seven minutes per run, rounds are meant to unfold quickly and ramp up in difficulty with each passing minute.
Like in Lethal Company, you can spend your earnings on subsequent rounds on resources like flashlights, which ought to improve your chances of not just surviving, but thriving in later rounds.
With in-game "sponsors" contributing additional buffs, it seems the game has a satirical side to it, the same way Lethal Company depicts workplace class structure or, perhaps more closely, how Squid Game depicts the common person's chase for wealth in a system designed for them to lose.
7 Minutes in Hell launches today, October 7, on Steam, and debuts as an early access title with a roadmap already revealed. This year will see additional threats and items come to the game across multiple updates, as well a new arena in December. Updates into 2025 are set to include mod support, plus more items and monsters.
October Is Thankfully Stacked With New Horror Games
