    The Headliners is a fast-paced, cooperative horror-action game where your weapon isn't a gun, it's a camera. Step into the chaos of a monster-ravaged New York City as a daring photojournalist, risking it all for the perfect shot. Your goal is simple: survive long enough to capture the most outrageous, jaw-dropping moments and escape with your footage before time runs out. Go in solo or team up with up to eight players if you prefer.

    In each mission, you're dropped into a cityscape crawling with towering kaiju, unpredictable alien creatures, and military blockades. The clock is always ticking. You have ten minutes to navigate the mayhem, snap world-shaking images, and find your way to extraction. With every step, danger looms: crumbling buildings, explosive chaos, and enemies who definitely don't want to be on camera. But the more risk you take, the bigger the reward. Capture something truly spectacular, and you might just go viral. Fail, and you'll be just another casualty of the news cycle.

    Rather than traditional combat, the game challenges you to think like a reporter under fire. Armed only with your camera and three press passes, every mission is a gamble. Scoring high-quality photos means getting up close and personal with the action. Use creative angles, wait for the perfect moment, and brace yourself, because once those press passes run out, it's game over.

    The Headliners offers a brilliant mix of tension and hilarity. Each match plays out like a mini disaster film, with unpredictable events, ragdoll physics, and cinematic destruction turning every session into a unique story. It’s part Cloverfield, part Lethal Company, and all adrenaline. Its stylish visuals, dynamic gameplay, and sharp satire of media culture give it serious replay value. 

    If you're into monster mayhem, unpredictable missions, and high-stakes hilarity with friends, it’s time to press your luck in The Headliners.

    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I strategically 'bank' my Headliner selections over multiple rounds, or are they exclusively for immediate use?
    Headliners are selected each round and are immediately committed to that round's performance. You can not 'bank' them for later rounds.
    If I choose a Headliner who's performance drastically clashes with the audience's preferences, what are the direct gameplay consequences?
    A significant clash results in a direct reduction of your 'Show Quality' score, potentially leading to negative consequences in subsequent rounds.
    Does the order I schedule my Headliners within a round have any impact on audience reaction or scoring?
    Yes, the order matters. Some Headliners have synergistic effects, and the order of their performances can amplify or mitigate audience reactions.
    Are Headliners' special abilities/modifiers revealed upfront, or do I discover them through gameplay?
    Headliners' abilities and modifiers are partially revealed initially, but their full potential and nuances are uncovered through strategic experimentation and observation during gameplay.
    If I repeatedly feature the same Headliner, do they experience 'burnout' or any form of decreased effectiveness over time?
    Yes, overusing a Headliner can lead to 'fatigue,' resulting in a gradual decrease in their impact on audience satisfaction and show quality.
    How does the 'Audience Mood' mechanic dynamically shift throughout a performance, and how do my Headliner choices influence this?
    The Audience Mood fluctuates based on your Headliners' performances. Headliners' attributes and the type of performance influence these shifts. Positive performances increase the mood, and negative ones decrease it.
    Can I directly manipulate the audience's expectations or preferences before selecting my Headliners?
    Yes, the game provides options to subtly influence audience expectations, but these actions come with strategic trade-offs and potential risks.
    Are there any 'wildcard' or 'surprise' Headliners that can be unlocked or discovered mid-game, changing strategic options?
    Yes, the game features a system of unlockable and surprise Headliners, which adds unexpected strategic depth and opportunities during a playthrough.
    How does the game's scoring system differentiate between a 'successful' performance and an 'exceptional' one, and what do I gain from the latter?
    Exceptional performances are rewarded with greater gains in Show Quality, unlocking of special abilities, and potentially a boost to your in-game resources.
    How does the game handle ties in audience preference or scoring during a round?
    The game uses a tie-breaker system based on the order of Headliner performance and their individual attributes. It prevents stalemates and helps determine the performance's success.
