Manage episode 490079904 series 3576146
What if your favorite horror game wasn’t just fiction?
In this chilling episode of Co-op Chronicles, your hosts Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee peel back the curtain on the real-life crimes, conspiracies, and tragedies that inspired some of gaming’s most disturbing titles. From the CIA’s mind control experiments that shaped Outlast, to Until Dawn’s cannibalistic echoes of the Donner Party, and the serial killer inspirations behind Dead by Daylight—this one is not for the faint of heart.
We’ll uncover the dark truth behind games like Manhunt, Condemned, Doki Doki Literature Club, Postal, and more—revealing just how close horror gaming gets to real-life nightmares. Was Manhunt really linked to a murder? Is Dead by Daylight pulling its killers from true crime files? And how far is too far when it comes to digital terror?
Whether you love true crime, urban legends, or just want to know which games might haunt you after the credits roll—this episode dives deep into the unsettling intersection of fact and fear.
