R.E.P.O.
R.E.P.O. (REPO) is an online co-op survival horror video game that can be played with up to six players. Your objective is to explore the given space, look for valuable items, and sell them to earn a profit. You need to be careful when carrying items, as they can get damaged, which will affect the selling price. While you do all this, you will also have to survive attacks from monsters using strategies and whatever resources you can find. The profit you will earn by selling items can be used for buying weapons and upgrades to survive harder levels. And yes, the game has proximity chat support for an immersive and scarier horror experience that adds to the fun.
Lethal Company
Lethal Company is also an online co-op survival horror video game, but supports only up to four players. Your group plays as a crew that takes contracts for salvaging scraps from abandoned buildings on the moon. These locations have hostile creatures that you need to fight and survive against. Every time you successfully survive and scavenge, you unlock riskier and more profitable locations. You get proximity chat support here as well.
Content Warning
Content Warning is an online co-op survival horror video game with a unique approach. Your group visits an ancient location called Old World to film monsters and scary experiences, and upload the footage to the SpookTube website. The goal is to make a viral video so that it can generate more views and you can earn more ad revenue. This revenue can be used to buy upgrades for your future adventures to shoot more viral footage. So, if you think your group can be the next viral SpookTube sensation, do give this game a try.
RV There Yet?
RV There Yet? is a fun co-op adventure game that puts you and your friends on a trip in a beat-up RV. You are returning from a camping trip, but have to drive that unreliable RV through rough terrain while avoiding animals and various environmental hazards. Your group will have to show patience, teamwork, and some good driving skills as you look to reach Route 65. At times, you will even have to repair the RV to make sure it keeps moving. A chaotic trip awaits you.
Cursed Companions
Cursed Companions is a co-op survival horror video game, very much similar to YapYap. Every member of the group gets a forbidden word, like “Sorry” or “Okay,” in this game. The player will take damage every time that word is mentioned. Saying the right words will help you heal. You can cast spells to defeat monsters as you explore scary dungeons. Similarly, voice can be used to unlock doors and disarm traps. The game has procedurally-generated dungeons, which means every trip is a unique experience.
Backrooms: Escape Together
Backrooms: Escape Together is a co-op survival horror video game with nine unique levels. Each level is procedurally-generated and filled with puzzles, items, and scary entities. Its dynamic proximity voice chat feature adapts to walls, rooms, and new environments for an unexpected and immersive experience. Since each level is unique, you will not find the exit in the same place again.
Mimesis
Mimesis is another co-op survival horror video game with proximity voice chat support, but with a unique twist. Its core gameplay is pretty standard, which is to explore abandoned facilities, look for valuable items, and try to survive from monsters. The catch here is that it also creates unique monsters who mimic your friends’ voices, behavior, and even memories. This means it will be hard to know if the voice is actually from your friend or some mimicking monster. The tram that you will use to visit and escape the facilities may also break down, which adds to the tension.
Phasmophobia
Phasmophobia is a popular co-op psychological horror video game where you play the role of a paranormal investigator. Your goal is to visit haunted sites and use equipment to determine what kind of entity is haunting them. The game has voice chat for communicating with team members, but certain cursed possessions, equipment, and ghosts can also pick up specific words/phrases. This is a game that can truly get chaotic and scary as you keep visiting and exploring new haunted locations.
Peak
Peak is a co-op climbing game where your goal is to climb a mountain with your friends. There will be various obstacles in your path that you need to overcome to keep climbing. You will also get resources that will help you in the ascent. The game has a proximity chat feature that can be used to make strategies. You have a stamina bar to maintain, and its maximum value changes based on your playthrough. Do not let it go below zero if you do not want to pass out. The game can also be played solo, but it is more fun with friends.
Oh Deer
Oh Deer is a co-op hide-and-seek video game in which one player takes the role of a hunter, and others disguise themselves as deer. The hunter has to rely on his skills, sound, and gadgets to locate and remove players pretending to be deer before nightfall. Other players have to hide from the hunter and make sure they are not located and hunted. They can do so by mixing in with real deer and using the forest to blend in. This could be a fun, relaxing game if you want something beyond the horror adventures.
Final Thoughts
With that, we have reached the end of our list of the best games to try if you like YapYap. These games will offer something unique while keeping the core mechanism of chaos among friends intact. Even though the vast majority of these titles lean towards survival horror, you can also go on an RV trip, climb a mountain, or pretend to be a deer when you are not in the mood to run from monsters.
