What do movies like Don’t Breathe, Abigail, The Collector, and The People Under the Stairs all have in common? They all focus on criminals who break into the wrong place at the wrong time. Burglarizing a home or kidnapping someone for a ransom is already stressful work. It’s worse when the house you’re breaking into is haunted. That’s what Dark Hours is all about, and the former PC exclusive is finally on consoles.

Dark Hours is played in teams of up to four players, uses proximity chat, and sends you into haunted locales like a casino, a museum, and a cruise ship to break and enter, though it’s getting out alive that proves trickier. It might sound like another “friendslop” game in the style of REPO or YapYap, but it actually predates those, having first hit Steam just before Halloween 2024. It then spent a year in early access and went 1.0 last fall. Now, it’s finally on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

My early impressions of the game are that it’s closer to something like Payday, with a touch of Phasmophobia, than it is to Lethal Company or Content Warning, though if you’re the type to play all these co-op horror games we’ve been enjoying as of late, this is definitely one not to miss.
