Lethal Company is a voice-chat product. The quota is a punchline that forces a session to end. Horror and slapstick share a radio. You cannot QA that in a silent office.

Early Access with a six-figure review count is not 'unfinished' in the Forge Industry sense. The label is a store status. The product is already a genre.

No listed demo. Coverage does not need one: friends dying on stream is the trailer. That does not generalise to a solo narrative horror.

For a studio copying the tag: if your horror is not better with three other microphones, you are in a different aisle.

Same Steam entity, different intent. The teardown is launch intelligence. The game page is what to play.
