Set up your group for freeUntil now, Level 99 Games' adaptation of Behaviour Interactive's hit horror game has been a purely competitive affair, one killer hunting a team of survivors across a darkened map. The new Auris Box changes that with three fresh formats. Survive Alone is a tight two-player mode, Survive Together pits a co-op team against an automated killer, and Kill Alone flips it so a solo player hunts four automated survivors. That opens the game up to solo players and smaller groups for the first time.
The box also brings new blood. There's a new killer, the Houndmaster, a new survivor in Taurie Cain, and two extra maps to stalk through. The Auris Box itself doubles as a 10th-anniversary storage solution, big enough to hold the base game plus the Unbroken, Gatekeeper, Malicious and Lightbringer expansions in one place.

The board game recreates that cat-and-mouse for three to five players, and the new automated modes mean you no longer need a full lobby to feel the dread.
The Gamefound campaign opens on 16 June. If trapping your mates in a horror film sounds like a good Friday night, find a group to play with.
