Description
Horrified: American Monsters is a standalone game that features gameplay similar to 2019's Horrified, which challenges players to overcome the "Universal Monsters" from classic films.
In this co-operative game, you face off against classic American nightmarish beasts: Bigfoot, Mothman, the Jersey Devil, the Chupacabra, the Banshee of the Badlands, and the Ozark Howler. The more creatures in the game, the harder the challenge, with players needing to use their unique powers to figure out how to defeat each monster.
