Carry The Count (v1.0.1)

A lovesick vampire nobleman spends five centuries writing poetry, receives a brutally brief reply, and immediately turns the result into everyone else’s problem. Carry The Count is a chaotic physics-driven co-op adventure about hauling its loudly opinionated master, coffin and all, through a perilous fantasy countryside to reach his lost love. The mood sits somewhere between slapstick horror and a dysfunctional road trip, with grim swamps, mountain passes, monsters, and a Count who never stops insulting the servants attempting to help him. Beneath the jokes is a surprisingly demanding transport challenge built around keeping a fragile, unwieldy coffin moving.

Players control Igor-like helpers who push, pull, climb, swim, punch, and occasionally launch one another toward objectives. The coffin serves as both cargo and toolkit: it can be balanced across gaps, pulled uphill with a winch and grappling hook, and fitted with a cannon to fire a companion onto distant ledges or mechanisms. Progress means crossing 19 regions full of collapsing routes, hostile guards, trolls, boulders, magical hazards, and constant repair jobs when the coffin inevitably takes damage. Solo play lets you tackle the journey at a measured pace, while online co-op for up to four players turns every steep cliff and rushed recovery into an argument, rescue attempt, or hilarious accident.

Its best idea is making the central objective an active, awkward object rather than a passive escort target; moving the coffin is the whole adventure, and every tool changes how the group approaches terrain. The Count’s relentless commentary gives failures personality, while optional nonsense—wearable hats, sausages, instruments, toxic mushrooms, and trading with Baba Yaga’s walking shop—keeps the world playful instead of punishing. Fans of Human: Fall Flat, Heave Ho, and Overcooked-style cooperative disorder should find plenty to enjoy, especially with friends willing to improvise. Patient solo players can still appreciate the physical puzzle solving, but Carry The Count clearly shines brightest when a team is desperately trying to save its master from rolling into another ravine.
