Firebreak starts to make sense. I've got two other players in my squad, each with a different kit of equipment and weapons, as we fight off hordes of enemies while doing odd jobs around our haunted office building.

FBC: Firebreak is a first-person co-op shooter developed and published by Remedy Entertainment. It's part of the Remedy Connected Universe — Remedy's ongoing setting that encompasses all things Alan Wake and Control — and is set at some point after the events of 2019's Control.

To say I was psyched about FBC: Firebreak when it was first announced is an understatement. Nothing gets me foaming at the mouth quite like quirky, eldritch, co-op shooters. So you can imagine my disappointment when I finally got to play Firebreak and it wasn't as outlandish as I had imagined.
