Content Warning, the latest internet sensation to surge up the Steam charts, is struggling with server issues as its developer confirms the co-operative horror jape has now been downloaded over 6.2m times since launching yesterday. If you're a little out the loop, Content Warning sees teams of up to four players descending into nightmarish depths of inky darkness (it's all a bit House of Leaves) to capture the horrors within on camera, survive, escape, then upload their footage to in-game streaming service SpöökTube in a bid to rack up the views and become a viral sensation. It's all very wholesome in its scares, as Eurogamer's Christian Donlan found when he ventured into its depths, and it's also been rocketing up the Steam charts, thanks to a mix of heavy streamer attention and the fact it was, for a limited time, free to download and keep.
