Nintendo’s latest multiplayer innovation, GameShare, is transforming the terror of survival horror into a full-blown slapstick farce, according to early adopters of Tokyo Scramble, the much-hyped Switch 2 exclusive launching this week. Thanks to GameShare, which allows one player to control movement while another is in charge of inventory management—and a third just presses the scream button—the line between psychological torment and absolute chaos has never been blurrier.

Players report that what was once a tense, atmospheric thriller is now a symphony of tripwire-triggered fart noises and competitive door-slamming. “I was trying to solve a puzzle about which key opens the morgue, and my brother kept making Anne sidestep into the wall,” said beta tester Lyle ‘ScaredyCat2077’ McMurray. “He also replaced all my shotgun shells with rubber chickens. I haven’t slept in days.”

Developers at SpaceStudio claim this Shrieking Mode enhances the horror experience. “Collaborative terror is more fun when your friend accidentally uses the healing herb as salad dressing,” explained lead designer Junpei Saito. “Nothing scares me more than my roommate wasting all the ammo on a coat rack.”

Family therapist Dr. Karen Gresky warned parents to monitor their children’s usage. “We’ve seen a 700% increase in sibling brawls after one child triggers a cutscene of Anne being chased by a sentient vending machine, while the other insists on dancing in the corner. It’s not unlike Monopoly, but with more existential dread,” Gresky reported.

Nintendo is already working on a patch to add even more comedy to the carnage, including a new feature where Anne can trip over her own inventory if her friends press the right button sequence.
