About this gallery:

To create this gallery, we focused on the best horror experiences we've had with friends, whether it's the fast-paced action of shooting through hordes of zombies or the tense and terrifying cases of haunted mansions. We've got a bit of everything!

Also, remember that this is a subjective list. If you think we missed a must-have cooperative horror game, why not add it in the comments? | © Techland

Sign of Silence

25. Sign of Silence (2020)

Sign of Silence drops you and your friends into a creepy, fog-covered forest filled with all sorts of horrifying creatures. You’ll need to work together to find a way out without alerting the lurking horrors, but good luck staying quiet when everyone’s panicking. It’s a game of sneaking, screaming, and hoping your friends don’t accidentally trip over something and get you all killed.

The Blackout Club

24. The Blackout Club (2019)

In The Blackout Club, you and your friends play as teenagers investigating strange occurrences in your town. It’s a mix of stealth and horror, with plenty of opportunities to mess things up by making too much noise. Nothing says teamwork like getting chased by something you can’t even see.

Midnight Ghost Hunt

23. Midnight Ghost Hunt (2022)

It’s ghosts vs. hunters in Midnight Ghost Hunt. As the hunters, you and your friends must track down player-controlled ghosts hiding in everyday objects. As ghosts, you’ll haunt the hunters. It’s funny, spooky, and absolutely chaotic—especially when you realize that chair in the corner isn’t just a chair.

Lunch Lady

22. Lunch Lady (2021)

Breaking into your school to steal test answers sounds easy, until you add a monstrous lunch lady into the mix. In Lunch Lady, you and your friends need to outsmart her and grab those pages. Just hope that your buddy doesn’t lead her straight to you when things get heated.

Pacify

21. Pacify (2019)

Pacify has you and your friends exploring a haunted house with a very angry ghost girl. Your job? Calm her down before she gets you. It’s a chaotic game of hide-and-seek where teamwork is essential—right up until the ghost grabs your buddy, and you decide running away is the best option.

White Noise 2

20. White Noise 2 (2017)

White Noise 2 is hide-and-seek, horror-style. One of you is the monster, the rest are investigators trying to stay alive. The catch? The monster can see in the dark, and you can’t. The screams will be real, and you’ll probably end up blaming your friends for leading you straight into danger.

World War Z

19. World War Z: Aftermath (2019)

World War Z: Aftermath lets you and your friends take on massive swarms of zombies. It’s fast-paced, intense, and there’s nothing quite like standing shoulder-to-shoulder with your buddies as thousands of undead try to eat your brains. Just remember: teamwork makes the dream (of not dying) work.

Forewarned

18. Forewarned (2021)

Think Indiana Jones, but with more screaming and fewer whips. Forewarned puts you and your friends in cursed tombs, dodging traps and trying not to get mummified. It’s all fun and games until someone activates a trap, and you’re all running from an angry spirit.

Cry of Fea 3

17. Cry of Fear (2013)

Originally a Half-Life mod, Cry of Fear is a co-op horror experience that will leave you terrified of dark alleyways and distorted creatures. Team up with friends to navigate the creepy story, but don’t be surprised when things get hectic, and you’re left on your own to scream and shoot your way out.

Aliens Fireteam Elite

16. Aliens: Fireteam Elite (2021)

Aliens: Fireteam Elite is all about mowing down Xenomorphs with friends. The action is intense, the aliens are terrifying, and cooperation is the only way you’re getting out alive. Just hope your teammates aren’t secretly plotting to use you as bait when the Queen shows up.

Man of Medan

15. Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan (2019)

In Man of Medan, you and your friends each control different characters as you navigate a ghost ship. It’s all about choices, and the wrong one might just doom your buddy. If you enjoy blaming your friends for your character's grisly fate, then this co-op horror is definitely for you.

Barotrauma

14. Barotrauma (2019)

Barotrauma is what happens when you take co-op horror underwater in a submarine. Between maintaining the sub, fighting off underwater creatures, and not drowning, you and your friends have a lot to do. Of course, nothing says teamwork like arguing over who forgot to repair the reactor before it exploded.

Devour

13. Devour (2021)

In Devour, you and your friends are exorcists trying to stop a possessed cult leader. It’s fast, frantic, and the scares come at you without warning. Communication is crucial, but let's be real—most of the time, you’ll just be screaming in terror as someone gets grabbed and dragged away into the darkness.

Resident Evil 5

12. Resident Evil 5 (2009)

Resident Evil 5 is all about co-op zombie shooting with a buddy, because what’s scarier than a Las Plagas-infested town? How about when your partner runs out of ammo and leaves you to deal with a giant mutant? It’s classic survival horror where teamwork is key, but friendly fire can lead to some accidental (and hilarious) chaos.

Sons of the fores 3

11. Sons of the Forest (2023)

It’s back to cannibal island, but this time with even more friends! Sons of the Forest ups the ante from The Forest, with new horrors to face and more crafting shenanigans. The only thing better than surviving cannibal attacks is doing it with your pals—and arguing over who forgot to bring food.

The outlast trials

10. The Outlast Trials (2023)

The Outlast Trials takes the terrifying formula of Outlast and makes it cooperative. You and your friends are test subjects in a creepy experiment, and teamwork is the only way to survive. Nothing brings friends together quite like sneaking past a deranged doctor while trying not to make a sound.

Project Zomboid

9. Project Zomboid (2013)

If you’ve ever wondered how long you and your friends would survive in a zombie apocalypse, Project Zomboid has the answer. Spoiler: it’s probably not long. Crafting, looting, and avoiding death is tough, and the only thing scarier than the zombies is your friend accidentally setting the house on fire. Cooperation is great… until someone screws up.

Killing floor 2

8. Killing Floor 2 (2016)

Wave after wave of horrifying mutants? Check. Friends with flamethrowers and grenade launchers? Check. Killing Floor 2 is all about over-the-top cooperative mayhem. It’s bloody, it’s chaotic, and it’s best enjoyed with a friend who can help clear the horde while you reload—or laugh when you run out of bullets at the worst possible time.

GTFO

7. GTFO (2019)

GTFO is not for the faint of heart or for friends who can’t follow orders. It’s a hardcore horror shooter where you and your squad need precision, stealth, and perfect timing. The monsters are relentless, and the only thing scarier than the creatures is realizing your friend didn’t bring enough ammo. You’ll either come out stronger as a team or never speak again.

The forest

6. The Forest (2014)

Stranded on an island with cannibals? In The Forest, you and your friends must build, craft, and try not to get eaten. Cooperation is key when your teammates are the only thing standing between you and a bunch of angry mutants. Just remember: sharing is caring—unless it's a limb.

Dying light 3

5. Dying Light (2015)

Dying Light is all about parkour, zombies, and bad decisions. You and your friends will sprint across rooftops, bash zombie skulls, and probably get into trouble once night falls. If you think a group activity should involve running away from super zombies in the dark, then you’re in for a good time (and a few heart attacks).

Dead by Daylight

4. Dead by Daylight (2016)

In Dead by Daylight, you either work with friends to repair generators and escape, or get sacrificed by your friend-turned-killer. It’s a hide-and-seek game where losing means getting impaled on a meat hook. There’s nothing like being the bait while your pals try to save the day—just hope they don’t leave you hanging… literally.

Left 4 Dead 2

3. Left 4 Dead 2 (2009)

If you love the thrill of mowing down hordes of zombies while your friends scream for help, Left 4 Dead 2 has your name on it. It’s all about teamwork—until someone accidentally sets off a car alarm and you’re suddenly running for your lives. Remember, it’s not about outshooting the zombies, it’s about outrunning your slowest friend.

Phasmophobia

2. Phasmophobia (2020)

Ever wanted to argue with your friends over whether or not that ghost is a spirit or a revenant? Phasmophobia turns ghost hunting into a cooperative nightmare, where your group’s success depends on how well you can yell "GET OUT" as one of you gets dragged away by an angry specter. Trust us, it’s scarier when you’re all panicking together.

Lethal Company

1. Lethal Company (2024)

Nothing says "team bonding" like breaking into haunted buildings to steal stuff. In Lethal Company, you and your friends are part of the world’s worst salvage operation, trying to grab loot while ghosts and monsters make you regret your career choices. You’ll either be laughing or screaming, but probably a bit of both.
