Content Warning Faces Guide

Updated 31 Oct 2026 Source Face customisation from the Content Warning wiki and Landfall's docs (suit station, 3-char limit, 7 colours); community face lists from Rock Paper Shotgun and Eurogamer; copy-paste/emoji method via Windows registry as documented by Eurogamer By Antewise Editorial
Data status: The facts on this page were checked against the source named above. Game values can still shift with a patch, so re-check anything that looks off.

Where to change your face

In the house, walk to the suit station (the TV on the right, near the beds) and press E. Backspace removes the old design, then type your new one and press Apply. You can do this any morning before descending.

The rules of the face editor

  • Up to three characters — colons, O’s and dashes are the classic building blocks for eyes and mouths.
  • Seven colours as the base: yellow, orange, red, pink, blue, turquoise and green.
  • Rotate the face 90° with the arrow keys and resize with + / − so it reads on camera.
  • A face that looks wrong? Rotate it — many designs only work at a different angle.

These are the go-to ASCII faces players actually use (type them at the station):

x_x -_- O_O >:( :-) ^.^ :-( :P :) :3) :( ;_; :-o UwU =o =0 ^o^ *_* +_+ ¬_¬ ._. >._:( -.- :Y

For horror dives, wide blank stares (O_O, x_x) unsettle viewers; for comedy, grins (:D, >:)) and UwU land. Pair the face with a near-miss on a lethal creature for a clip that does both.

How a face earns views

Your face is on screen the whole dive. A distinct, expressive face makes your SpöökTube footage more memorable, and memorable footage earns more views (the views guide covers what footage is worth). It is free customisation that compounds with every clip — no upgrade required.

Emotes add another layer

Press T to emote. Emotes are not free: buy them from the shop in front of the house for $50–$500 each (16 are available, from Caring at $50 to the Ancient Gestures set at $500). A well-timed emote during a scare is pure view bait.

Want emoji or copy-paste faces?

The base game caps you at three typed characters. To use emoji, Unicode symbols or longer strings you either mod the game (see the mods guide) or edit the FaceText value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Landfall Games\Content Warning in the Windows registry while not in a session — then the suit station shows whatever you typed. Keep it readable on camera; not every Unicode glyph renders.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change my face in Content Warning?

At the house, go to the suit station (the TV on the right, by the beds) and press E. Backspace clears the old design, then type up to three letters or symbols and hit Apply.

Why bother with a custom face?

Your face is front and centre on every dive. A funny, creepy or weird face makes your SpöökTube clips more memorable, and memorable clips pull more views.

Can I use emoji or copy-paste faces?

Not in the base game — the suit station only takes up to three typed characters. Copy-paste, emoji and longer faces need a mod or a small registry edit (see the mods guide).
