6 Games Like Lethal Company Players Need to Try

You and your crew work for a corporation willing to risk the lives of their employees to make money in Lethal Company. All you need to do is travel to abandoned moons, find scraps, and meet the Company’s profit quota. That sounds simple enough until the team encounters hideous and bloodthirsty creatures. Some of you may die, but that’s the sacrifice the business is willing to make.

That’s rather — dark. However, people can’t stop talking about how fun the game is. There’s nothing more hilarious than hearing the final screams of someone over proximity chat. If you’re looking for more experiences like Lethal Company, you’ve come to the right place.

6 Games Like Lethal Company Players Need to Try

Let’s think of what makes a game like Lethal Company:

  • Online co-op/multiplayer horror experience
  • Immersive ambiance
  • PvE (Player vs. Environment) with grotesque creatures
  • Proximity chat where communication is necessary
  • Gameplay focused on exploration

Remember that the games below aren’t exactly like Lethal Company, though they are similar. We’ve also included each title’s developer, release date, platform availability, prices, Steam rating, and similarity score.

Phasmophobia

  • Developer/Publisher: Kinetic Games
  • Game Release Date: September 18, 2020
  • Platforms: Windows
  • Price: $13.99 on Steam
  • Steam Rating: Overwhelmingly Positive (with 513,043 reviews)
  • Similarity Score out of 10: 9.0

Phasmophobia is one of the most Lethal-Company-like titles. It’s an online co-op psychological horror where you and up to three others become paranormal investigators. Explore various haunted buildings and gather evidence to sell to a ghost removal team. With over 20 ghost types, excellent sound design, realistic graphics, and ghost-hunting equipment, Phasmophobia is scary enough to keep players on edge and have them constantly come back for more.

Dead by Daylight

  • Developer/Publisher: Behaviour Interactive
  • Game Release Date: June 14, 2016
  • Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, Stadia, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5
  • Price: $19.99 on Epic Games and Steam
  • Steam Rating: Very Positive (with 504,540 reviews)
  • Similarity Score out of 10: 5.0

We couldn’t make a multiplayer horror game list without Dead by Daylight.
In this survival horror, one plays a vicious Killer, and the others are Survivors trying to escape the murderer. Each Killer and Survivor has unlockables and a progression system. On top of that, the levels are procedurally generated, which keeps the game interesting. Dead by Daylight is a top pick for those into scary multiplayer titles.

Escape the Backrooms

  • Developer/Publisher: Fancy Games
  • Game Release Date: August 11, 2022
  • Platforms: Windows
  • Price: $9.99 on Steam
  • Steam Rating: Very Positive (with 39,757 reviews)
  • Similarity Score out of 10: 8.5

Escape the Backrooms should be on every horror game fanatic’s list. It’s based on the Creepypasta lore about being trapped in an endless maze of empty spaces and menacing creatures. Escape the Backrooms oozes a disturbing ambiance, as Fancy Games uses liminal spaces to create unsettling environments. And don’t get me started on the creatures. They’re horrendous. Luckily, you can grab three others to survive Escape the Backrooms.

SCP Containment Breach Multiplayer

  • Developer/Publisher: Fusion Creators Studio
  • Game Release Date: April 15, 2012
  • Platforms: Windows
  • Price: Free
  • Steam Rating: Very Positive (with 20,072 reviews)
  • Similarity Score out of 10: 8

Like Escape the Backrooms, SCP Containment Breach is based on creative online stories. It’s derived from fictional stories on the SCP Foundation Wiki. The game is about staff members escaping a facility after anomalies escape containment. The best part about this multiplayer experience is players can be faculty members or anomalous entities and experience the breach from different perspectives. SCP Containment Breach is also free, so it’s worth a shot!

The Outlast Trials

  • Developer/Publisher: Red Barrels
  • Game Release Date: May 18, 2023
  • Platforms: Windows
  • Price: $29.99 on Steam and Epic Games
  • Steam Rating: Very Positive (with 35,109 reviews)
  • Similarity Score out of 10: 7.5

There’s a reason why The Outlast Trials won Fear Fest 2023’s Best Horror Multiplayer of the Year award. Red Barrels’ co-op title thrusts players into the Murkoff Corporation’s facility as test subjects. They must complete grueling trials and MK-Challenges to be released back into society. The gameplay focuses on avoiding enemies rather than fighting them, and there’s more story development than Lethal Company. There’s also more blood — a lot more blood.

Sons of the Forest

  • Developer/Publisher: Endnight Games/Newnight
  • Game Release Date: February 23, 2023
  • Platforms: Windows
  • Price: $29.99
  • Steam Rating: Very Positive (with 149,645 reviews)
  • Similarity Score out of 10: 8

Sons of the Forest traps you and your team on an island infested with cannibals. Like Lethal Company, Sons of the Forest requires players to strategize and plan ahead to survive. Gather resources to craft weapons and build cabins to protect yourselves from mutants. Sons of the Forest will test your teamwork skills, especially as winter arrives and the bloodthirsty creatures grow hungrier.
