'The Watchers' Beta Coming This Halloween, Accepting Sign-ups - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Oct. 17, 2019 @ 12:10 a.m. PDT

The Watchers is a haunting online co-op puzzle game where you take control of twins (brother and sister) as they search an abandoned cult headquarters for clues to the disappearance of their mother.

In this unique duo co-op experience, players must combine strong communication and navigation skills to gather cursed objects and evade disturbing enemies.

There’s a half-forgotten structure hidden in the hills of the Coyote Valley and twins Luisa and Frederico Puerta aren’t leaving until they find out what happened there 15 years ago. After their estranged mother Anna succeeded there as leader of The Watchers of Azazel, everything changed. The flames were seen by a local farmer, the screams heard by a passing hiker, the blood seen by noone. What happened to the cult’s members? Where is Anna Peurta?

Work together to discover the truth as you explore the abandoned headquarters of a local cult. But be careful. You’re being watched.


"We wanted to make a game that really requires players to work together," said game designer Joe Fender. "Think Dark Souls difficulty but now you have someone else to blame. There are no jump scares here - instead, we create horror through atmosphere and challenging puzzles."

The Watchers will play host to a beta from October 31st to November 3rd on Steam (PC & Mac). Request a pair of beta keys by joining their official Discord server.

Each successful signup will receive 2 keys so that they can play with a friend. Signups close at 11:59pm PDT on October 30th.
