How co-op works
Online co-op for one to ten players exploring procedurally generated nuclear disaster zones, pooling scavenged resources to build a shared bunker and craft weapons while navigating environmental anomalies and threats from mutants and armed bandits.
About this game
MISERY drops cooperative teams into a procedurally generated radioactive disaster zone where survival depends on scavenging, building, and constant vigilance. Groups of up to ten players explore contaminated ruins, gather scarce materials, and defend against mutated creatures, environmental hazards, and hostile bandits competing for the same limited resources.

The core loop revolves around coordinated resource runs and bunker development. Players venture into dangerous territory to collect supplies, then return to fortify their shared base and craft gear. Anomalies alter the landscape unpredictably, forcing teams to adapt routes and tactics on every expedition. Communication becomes critical when splitting up to cover more ground or deciding whether to engage bandits or avoid conflict.
Each session builds on the last as the bunker grows and equipment improves, creating a persistent sense of progress even when individual runs end in disaster. The combination of environmental threats, crafting depth, and the tension of encounters with both creatures and hostile NPCs gives each playthrough a different rhythm, rewarding groups that learn to divide labor and watch each other's backs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can join a co-op session in MISERY?
MISERY supports 1 to 10 players in co-op mode. You can play solo or team up with up to nine friends online or via LAN to scavenge the radioactive wasteland together.
Is progress shared between players in co-op?
Yes, your group shares a bunker that persists across sessions. As you collect resources and return from expeditions, the entire team contributes to fortifying the base and crafting better equipment, creating a sense of ongoing progression even after tough runs.
What makes teamwork important in MISERY?
Communication is critical because you'll need to coordinate resource runs, decide when to split up to cover more ground, and choose whether to fight or avoid bandits and mutants. Anomalies change the landscape unpredictably, so teams that divide labor and watch each other's backs have the best chance of surviving.
Does MISERY have PvP, or is it purely co-op?
MISERY is a purely cooperative experience. You and your team face environmental hazards, mutated creatures, and hostile NPC bandits together-there's no player-versus-player combat.
Is the world the same every time, or does it change?
The world is procedurally generated, so each playthrough offers different layouts and challenges. Anomalies also alter the landscape unpredictably, forcing your team to adapt routes and strategies on every expedition.
