Ghost Town Games Shows Gameplay For Stage Fright Ahead Of Spring 2027
The footage is the first clear look at how Ghost Town Games carries over the coordination and chaos of Overcooked! into a puzzle adventure with a story and a larger world, which is the part of the project that was unproven until now.

Ghost Town Games, the team behind Overcooked!, released new gameplay footage for Stage Fright, a two-player co-op mystery adventure in development. The game moves the studio's chaotic co-op style from the kitchen into a strange town, following three children named Drew, Blake, and Charlie. Players swap between pairs of characters to see the story from different angles while solving escape-room-style puzzles. It is scheduled for spring 2027.
The new footage shows actual co-op play rather than a trailer: two players working through escape-room-style puzzles and the odd contraptions that block them. The design pushes thinking and coordination over control execution, with players swapping between pairs of the three children to see the town from different perspectives.
The developers name The Goonies and Stranger Things as inspirations, and the gameplay nods to Luigi's Mansion. The setting moves from Overcooked!'s kitchens to a town of strange residents, and the story is a coming-of-age one around Drew, Blake, and Charlie. Release is set for spring 2027.
