Content Warning Is Hiding Players’ Footage in the Game for Other Players to Find

Players of wacky co-op horror game Content Warning are being asked by publisher Landfall if their wildest recordings can be used for a lost footage project which would see it hidden in-game for other players to find.

Content Warning doesn’t revolve around looting or fighting your way through a shadowy and monster-infested world but instead your objective is to use the 90 seconds of film on your video camera to capture your crew’s spine-chilling and/or hilarious misadventures, then survive long enough to extract the footage, upload it to ‘SpookTube’, and rake in the views. The resulting reel, including your screams, exclamations, and deadpan narration of someone being eaten by a hole in the ceiling, is then available for you to download to your PC as a memento.

Being picked up and hurled into the air by a horrifying knobbly slug monster is therefore an ideal turn of events (as long as your cameraman catches it on film), and it’s this kind of footage Landfall is looking for.

It’s asking for players’ exported camera footage for the lost footage project, with the idea that, when other players are exploring the ridiculous and terrifying world of Content Warning, they’ll come across an equally ridiculous and terrifying recording and perhaps gain an idea of what lurks nearby — or at least have a good laugh.

Footage must be unedited to be eligible for inclusion, and you’ll need to sign a waiver and post the video on social media first. Applications are currently open, so give it a shot if you think your expert camerawork deserves a larger audience.

If you’re looking for your saved footage, here’s where to find your video recordings in Content Warning. Or if you’re heading back down for a reshoot, take a look at IGN’s Guides for all the info we’ve gathered so far on the monsters, useful items available to purchase, and our tips and tricks for maximum views.
