Billed as a magic-infused cooperative horror experience, Yapyap effectively flips the script on traditional extraction games. Instead of retrieving artifacts from haunted locales, players are tasked with causing as much chaos and destruction as possible. Incorporating voice-activated spellcasting—a mechanic reminiscent of the popular Mage Arena—the game offers a familiar yet distinctly engaging loop for groups of friends.

Steam user reviews currently reflect a “Very Positive” rating of 82%. While the primary critique is a desire for more depth and longevity, the developers are moving quickly to address early concerns. “Our current focus is ensuring the experience is polished and stable for all players,” Maison Bap explained. “Once we’ve solidified the foundation, we’ll dive into planning new features and content updates.”

While the term “friendslop” is sometimes used dismissively, many creators have begun to embrace it as a badge of honor for social-first, chaotic multiplayer games. Regardless of the label, it is clear that this breed of gaming is resonating deeply with the modern audience.
