❤ Objective and Gameplay Loop

Contracted workers take on the primary objective of collecting scrap materials from abandoned, industrialized moons and meeting the Company's ever-increasing profit quota before the deadline. Players can use the credits earned to travel to new, more dangerous moons with higher risks and rewards, or to purchase useful tools and gear.

❤ Traversal and Exploration

Careful movement and traversal are essential, as players must navigate dark, complex environments filled with various hazards and obstacles. Jumping across gaps, climbing ladders, and squeezing through tight spaces require coordination and precision, especially when under pressure from the game's deadly creatures. Exploration is a crucial aspect, as players must thoroughly search each facility to uncover valuable scrap and resources. The procedural generation ensures that the layout and contents of each moon are unique, encouraging players to constantly adapt their strategies and be alert for potential dangers.

❤ Cooperative Mechanics

The cooperative gameplay mechanics are a standout feature, as players must work together effectively to increase their chances of survival and meeting the quota. This includes communicating hazards, sharing resources, and coordinating actions to overcome challenges. The proximity-based voice chat system heightens the sense of tension and immersion, as players must rely on their situational awareness and teamwork to navigate the perilous environments.

❤ Threat and Survival

At the heart of the gameplay are the various threats and hazards that players must confront. The abandoned moons are home to a diverse array of deadly creatures, each with their own unique behaviors and abilities. Players must learn to identify and respond to these threats appropriately, using the limited tools and resources available to them. Surviving the hazards is a constant struggle, as players must balance the need to scavenge for resources with the need to stay vigilant and retreat to safety when necessary. This delicate balance, coupled with the ever-present risk of permanent death, creates a sense of tension and urgency that drives the gameplay forward.

❤ Progression and Replayability

While the objective remains the same across runs, the game offers a high degree of replayability through its procedural generation and tiered difficulty system. As players progress, they unlock access to more challenging moons with greater rewards, but also increased risks. The ability to purchase new equipment and gear between runs provides a sense of progression, and the game's unofficial modding support allows for further customization and expansion of the gameplay experience.
