About the experience
Stranded Souls is a premium cooperative horror title for PC from BABS Game Studio. Presented in first-person, the game blends psychological scares with investigative gameplay, asking players to use both logic and nerve as they explore unsettling scenes and piece together fragmented timelines.
Story and setting
The campaign opens in an old mansion set in the 1890s. A young girl perished in a gruesome fire, but witnesses suggest her death was no accident and cast suspicion on her mother. Players must examine the property, gather evidence, and retrace events to uncover what really happened. The house remains haunted by the girl’s restless spirit, and her presence can turn any investigation into a fight for survival.
How multiplayer works
This is an online co-op experience built for teams of four. Players work together to solve murders and uncover dark secrets across multiple cases and eras. Cooperation, communication, and careful exploration are required to avoid becoming the next victims or tripping into traps set by the supernatural.
Key gameplay elements:
- Multiple eras and interconnected incidents that slowly reveal a larger conspiracy
- A mix of puzzle-solving, clue gathering, and tense stealth or escape sequences
- Four-player online co-op focused on teamwork and role coordination
- First-person perspective to heighten immersion and psychological tension
Practical tips for playing with friends:
- Split search areas and share findings immediately to speed up progress
- Assign roles (e.g., clue collector, lookout, puzzle solver) so tasks aren’t duplicated
- Stay close during high-threat encounters to revive or assist teammates
- Keep expectations realistic: features and balance may change during development
Development status and caveats
Stranded Souls is currently available in Early Access, which means systems, missions, and visuals are still being refined. Expect ongoing updates and potential adjustments to gameplay, performance, and content as the developer continues iterating.
Final thoughts
If you enjoy atmospheric horror and prefer playing tense, story-driven games with friends, Stranded Souls is a worthwhile pick to try. Gather three others, prepare for unnerving set pieces, and work together to expose the truth—just be ready for moments that can quickly turn deadly.
