PEAK
A four-player climbing game made in a month, in which you and your friends scale a mountain, eat questionable mushrooms, and fall. The summer's co-op game, and the reason 'peak' regained a literal meaning for a few weeks.

R.E.P.O.
A co-op horror game about carrying fragile valuables through a haunted building with physics that hate you. The small ragdoll robots, the screaming, and the moment the grand piano goes over the banister made it the year's most-clipped game.

Content Warning
A co-op horror game in which you film monsters for views, released free for one day on April Fools' and downloaded by millions. The record's entry for a game whose premise — filming horror for an audience — was also its marketing, and for the day everyone had it.

Lethal Company
A co-op horror game about scavenging scrap on a quota with three friends who will get you killed, made by one person, which owned the end of 2023 and produced the proximity-chat scream as a genre of clip. The ancestor of R.E.P.O., Content Warning and every friend-group horror game since.

Phasmophobia
A four-player ghost-hunting game from a single British developer in which the ghost listens to your microphone, released into early access in September 2020 and, within a month, the most-watched game on Twitch that Halloween. The record notes that the fear was mostly of your own friends saying the ghost's name into the headset.

Schedule I
An indie game about building a drug empire in a small town, made by one developer and played by every streamer at once in spring 2025. The customers' faces and the packaging mini-game became memes; the town of Hyland Point became a place people spoke of fondly.

Among Us
Finding the impostor on a spaceship, two years after release and during a lockdown. Left the language a single word, sus, which is doing better than the game.

Crab Game
A free multiplayer game made in a few weeks by a Norwegian YouTuber as an unlicensed copy of Squid Game's challenges, released on Steam in October 2021 while the series was at its peak and played by over a hundred thousand people at once. The record notes that the game's name was a legal joke, that it was a streamer favourite for two months and that it faded when the series did.
