R.E.P.O. is the Viral Meme Horror Game Taking Steam by Storm

by Riley Mar 06,2025

R.E.P.O., a darkly humorous cooperative horror game, is making waves on Steam. Players extract valuable items from monster-infested locations in this engaging title, which launched in Early Access on February 26th. The developers anticipate an Early Access period lasting six to twelve months.

This meme-rich cooperative horror experience is shattering Steam records and attracting overwhelmingly positive feedback. Boasting over 6,000 reviews, a remarkable 97% are positive.

Reviewers highlight the game's unique blend of humor and compelling gameplay. The advanced physics engine, particularly crucial for object transportation, is frequently lauded. Many compare R.E.P.O. favorably to Lethal Company, suggesting it represents a creative evolution rather than a simple imitation.

Player engagement is equally impressive. Daily record-breaking concurrent player counts are the norm, with yesterday's peak hitting 61,791. Surprisingly, Monday's player numbers even surpassed the weekend's, underscoring the game's viral success.
