This game REALLY impressed me in early access, and unfortunately I have not had the time to go back. I bought a four pack and me and my family played it together in a closed group, and it was so much fun. We took turns being the monster and you'd hear the other three players frantically trying to figure out where you are... while you quietly watch them squirm... then leap from the shadows to attack them as your friend screams and drops their laptop from across the room.
I'm not sure how this game would measure up doing online co-op with strangers, or trying to play alone. But there was enough variety of monsters and the ever-changing levels that this was just a complete delight.
At the time I played it, because it was early access, there was a problem with it being nearly impossible for the non-monsters to win the game. They had to find like nine keys in the dark and then find their way out of a maze of rooms, all while being hunted. None of them ever won, which was why we eventually stopped playing.
So, as a party game... turn the lights off, give everyone headphones so the sound of quiet footsteps and creaking doors becomes immersive, and this game is a BLAST. As a game by itself, I doubt it would be nearly as much fun.
