How co-op works

Up to four players cooperate online to explore Martian cave systems, sharing resource gathering, base building, and tool crafting duties. Teams must coordinate to manage oxygen, navigate hazards, and investigate the lost expedition while adapting through mutations and equipment upgrades.

About this game

Survival hinges on gathering materials, crafting custom tools, and establishing functional bases deep underground. Players can upgrade equipment, construct defenses, and even undergo biological mutations to withstand the harsh conditions. Communication is essential as teams split tasks, monitor shared oxygen supplies, and respond to unexpected threats in the darkness.

The open structure encourages experimentation, whether you focus on fortifying a central hub or pushing ever deeper into unexplored tunnels. Cross-platform multiplayer support lets groups play together regardless of their platform. Repeated expeditions reveal new challenges and opportunities, rewarding groups who adapt their strategies and coordinate effectively.
