How co-op works

Two players work cooperatively through escape-room puzzles where each player interacts with different mechanisms, triggers, or clues. Both must communicate constantly and coordinate timed actions to unlock paths and progress through interconnected spaces.

About this game

Stage Fright is Ghost Town Games' newest cooperative puzzle adventure, trading kitchen chaos for methodical escape-room design. Two players step into an unfolding mystery that spans themed environments filled with observation puzzles, hidden mechanisms, and logic challenges. The story threads through each room, rewarding players who piece together clues and experiment with their surroundings.

Puzzles are built for two: one player might hold a switch while the other navigates a shifting platform, or each sees different symbols that must be cross-referenced to unlock a door. Timing, spatial reasoning, and clear communication all play a role. There's no combat or time pressure; the focus stays on deduction and coordinated interaction.

Both online and local split-screen co-op are supported, letting you tackle the campaign from the same couch or across the internet. The structure encourages replay for players who enjoy dissecting puzzles or helping a new partner through the mystery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play Stage Fright solo, or do I need a co-op partner?

Stage Fright is designed specifically for two players working together. The puzzles require both players to coordinate-one might hold a switch while the other moves through a changing platform, or each player sees different symbols that need to be combined. A second player is essential to progress through the game.

Does Stage Fright support both online and local co-op?

Yes, you can play with a friend either online or through local split-screen on the same device. Whether you're sitting on the same couch or connecting across the internet, both options are fully supported.

Is Stage Fright timed or stressful like Overcooked?

No. Stage Fright takes a completely different approach from Overcooked. There's no time pressure or frantic action-it's a methodical escape-room experience focused on observation, deduction, and coordinated puzzle-solving at your own pace.

What kind of puzzles can we expect in Stage Fright?

The game features interdependent escape-room style puzzles where each player has a unique role. You'll encounter hidden mechanisms, logic challenges, symbol cross-referencing, and environmental puzzles that require spatial reasoning and clear communication between partners. The emphasis is on teamwork and thinking through each challenge together.
