Knuckle Warning

Content Warning and White Knuckle, running together. You play Content Warning, in its own window: the house, the diving bell, the Old World, the monsters, the camera, the views. White Knuckle runs beside it, out of sight, and is your body: its two hands, its grip, the way it walks, jumps, hangs and falls. The two games talk through a live bridge many times a second.

What you get

• White Knuckle's two hands in Content Warning's world. Left mouse is your left hand, right mouse is your right. Each grips what you look at, each tires on its own, and with both open you fall. Walls, ceilings, pipes, shelves, the diving bell: if it is solid, a hand can hold it.
• It is the real thing. The hands you see are drawn by White Knuckle itself. Reach, swing, grip and fall damage are White Knuckle's own rules, because White Knuckle is running them.
• One hand films, one hand climbs. Take the camera (or any item) and it is in your right hand: right mouse records, middle mouse zooms. Your left hand still grips, so you can hang one-handed and film what is below while that hand's grip runs out.
• R frees both hands. R puts the item away so both hands can climb, and takes it out again.
• Grab the monsters. A hand closes on a monster as it does on a wall. Hold on and it carries you.
• Content Warning still decides. Health, oxygen, hotbar, money and views are Content Warning's. A hard landing takes health; a hit while you hang knocks grip out of your hands. The stamina bar shows your hands' grip.

What you need

Content Warning and White Knuckle, both installed (Steam). Nothing of either game is in the download: White Knuckle really runs, from your own copy. Press Play, host a game, and once you stand in the house White Knuckle has your body.

Controls

• Left hand / right hand: left mouse / right mouse (hold to grip)
• Walk, jump, crouch (hold), sprint: Content Warning's own keys
• With an item in hand, use it: right mouse
• With an item in hand, zoom or aim: middle mouse
• Put the item away / take it out: R
• Flip the camera towards yourself: F

Good to know

• Single player. This release is for one player: host a game and dive alone.
• Bare hands. White Knuckle's hammer, pitons and perks are not in this version.
• The view is as wide as the field of view set in your White Knuckle, and its sounds play at the volume set there.
• Both games run at once, so it needs a PC that can run both.
• Started on its own, White Knuckle is untouched; without it running, Content Warning plays as it always did.
