GAMES WITH THIS MECHANIC
Games with proximity chat
Games With Proximity Chat on Steam start with Lethal Company.
Voice is spatial. Who hears you depends on where you stand, which turns audio into a mechanic rather than a lobby setting. A whisper in the next room is information; a shout is a location ping. The microphone is loadout, and silence is a legal move.

How proximity chat changes a game
Clips write themselves: a scream, a betrayal, a silent hallway. The social layer is the content pipeline, which is why Lethal Company and Content Warning spread on voice more than on trailers. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes splits information across a table without needing spatial voice, and that distinction matters — this page stays small on purpose.
