Welcome to the Show, Contestant
Dravo's Twisted Show entered Early Access on September 18, 2026 from developers Titan Games and Altergard, dropping up to four players into a twisted carnival game show hosted by a sinister ringmaster and his "horrifying Cast." Players work together through physics-based mini-games and proximity voice chat, earning tickets to open the exit or gear up for whatever comes next, all while being hunted through the set. At $6.99, it launched to an English review pool of 11 reviews, every single one of them positive, giving it a perfect "Positive" score on Steam's own scale, all 11 read in full for this review (two of them written in Spanish despite being returned under Steam's English-language filter, translated faithfully here).
A Co-op Chase Loop That Lands With Friends
Every review in this pool, without exception, credits the same thing for making Dravo's Twisted Show work: playing it with friends. "The game is a lot of fun with 2 or 3 friends! It will be a great game for a Halloween Games night," wrote one reviewer, while another put it more simply: "Really fun friendslop!" A third reviewer highlighted the voice chat specifically as an unexpected highlight: "I wanted to play for the co-op features but that way was more fun... I also liked that once you die, you can see how your friends are still trying to escape and communicate." Several reviewers singled out the game's central antagonist, Dravo himself, for praise: one wrote that "Dravos guy looks super shady," while a Spanish-language review (translated: "I really like the intensity of the clown, I'd like there to be more similar enemies") specifically asked for more threats in his mold. Another reviewer captured the tone the developers seem to be going for directly: "I got nervous, tense, scared… but most of all, I laughed a lot... One moment you're worried about what might happen next, and the next you're having so much fun that you completely forget you're supposed to be escaping."
Rough Edges Reviewers Are Willing to Forgive, For Now
Every reviewer in this pool also flagged at least one technical problem, and the same handful of specific complaints repeat often enough to be more than noise, even in an otherwise unanimous "recommend" pool. Voice chat and audio balance came up more than once: one reviewer noted that "some microphones sound clear and other sound really muted; also seems like the master volume doesn't work as intended." Physical interactions with the environment drew similar complaints: one reviewer "ran into some issues with the platforms," while another said they "did not totally like the interaction with the items," calling it something that "can be polished." A third reviewer reported a bug where their own playtime simply wasn't being tracked by the client. None of these were treated as dealbreakers, and the pool's overwhelming instinct was to frame every one of them as an expected, forgivable cost of buying into Early Access rather than a real strike against the game, with one reviewer going so far as to say it "feels way more complete than most other early access games I've tried" despite the issues.
Only Four Levels, and a Steep Learning Curve
Beneath the co-op enthusiasm sits a more concrete, if less dramatic, complaint: there just isn't much game here yet. "Only 4 levels, but seems like the devs have a plan ahead so it would be good to see what comes from it," one reviewer noted, a sentiment echoed by a Spanish-language review that praised the graphics and colors but flagged that the game itself "is very difficult" and that the tutorial doesn't explain how to revive downed teammates, a fairly basic omission for a co-op survival game. A separate English review agreed on the difficulty front, noting the game "is a bit hard atm" and that new players will need "a couple of attempts to get used to the mini-games and the layout" before the loop clicks. Combined, four independent reviewers flagging thin content, a steep learning curve, or an incomplete tutorial paints a picture of a game whose current build is a proof of concept for a longer-term plan rather than a full package yet.
A Promising Foundation, By the Reviewers' Own Admission
What's notable about this pool is how consistently reviewers use the word "potential" while still recommending the game outright: "the game is super fun and has tons of potential," "it has a lot of potential and it feels way more complete than most other early access games I've tried," "a lot of fun with friends... has a lot of potential to keep you playing for a good while." That pattern, an entire review pool that's simultaneously unanimous in recommending the game and unanimous in describing it as unfinished, is a genuinely useful signal for a $6.99 Early Access purchase: buyers are being told exactly what they're getting, a short, currently four-level co-op horror gauntlet with real jump scares and real laughs, built on a foundation its earliest players trust enough to keep watching.
Verdict
Dravo's Twisted Show is off to a genuinely strong Early Access start: a perfect positive review record is rare for any game, let alone a debut Early Access build, and the reviews earning that record consistently point to the same source, a co-op chase loop through a twisted game show that's tense, funny, and worth playing with friends. The catches are exactly what an Early Access price tag should promise honesty about: voice chat and physics interactions that need polish, a tutorial missing at least one basic mechanic, and only four levels of content so far. At $6.99, it's a reasonable entry point for a group looking for a short, social horror romp with a developer that seems to have a clear plan for where it's headed, but anyone expecting a finished, lengthy game today should wait for a few more content updates first.
