In each one, players attempt to solve various over-the-top problems that affects the group, such as how to escape a serial killer[2] or a wilderness survival scenario in which a character insists players drink their own urine.[3] Players' choices affect how the other monsters see them and often result in black humor.[2] Players can optionally tone down the game's emphasis on various potential triggers, such as sex and drug use.[4] Up to four players can compete, or a single player can play alone.[5]
