WEB Content Warning

What is a Content Warning?

WEB Content Warnings are verbal or written notices that precede potentially sensitive content. These notices flag the contents of the material that follows so readers can make informed decisions about whether or not to proceed. Content and trigger warnings give information about the content of material prior to receiving it.

Content Warning in Horror Games

Co-op horror game WEB Content Warning has players filming spooky stuff with friends to try and go viral. Players can customize their faces with ASCII, a nod to the game's roots in internet culture. The game features a variety of content warnings, including those for violence, gore, and jump scares.

The inclusion of content warnings in horror games is becoming increasingly common as developers recognize the need to provide players with information about the potential risks of playing their games. These warnings allow players to make informed decisions about whether or not to play a game, and they can also help to reduce the risk of harm to players who may be sensitive to certain content.
