How co-op works
Up to four local or online roommates share a procedurally generated spaceship. They divide cleaning alien goo, capturing infestations, powering rooms, growing food, recycling waste into batteries, and maintaining appliances, with neglected chores quickly disrupting the whole crew.

The core loop revolves around cleaning, recycling, and upgrading appliances while a relentless alien infestation spreads through your ship. Players assign tasks, share tools, and coordinate repairs under constant pressure. Every run tests your ability to communicate quickly and divide labor efficiently.
Both local couch co-op and online multiplayer are supported, including split-screen and single-screen modes. Sessions become frantic juggling acts where one mistake can cascade into disaster, making clear callouts and quick role swaps essential for long-term survival.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Out of Space solo, or do I need other players?
Out of Space supports single-player, but it's designed around co-op teamwork. You can play alone, but the game becomes significantly easier and more enjoyable with roommates helping you manage the alien infestation and resource juggling.
Does Out of Space support both local and online co-op?
Yes, Out of Space offers both local couch co-op and online co-op. You can play split-screen, on a single screen together, or connect with friends online. It also supports Steam Remote Play Together if you want to share your local session remotely.
What makes Out of Space a 'communication-heavy' co-op game?
The alien infestation spreads constantly while you're managing power, food, and appliance repairs. You'll need to quickly call out priorities, swap roles on the fly, and coordinate who's cleaning versus who's recycling or upgrading. One player ignoring a spreading goo patch can cascade into total ship failure.
Is there controller support for couch co-op?
Yes, Out of Space has full controller support, making it easy to play locally with friends on the couch using gamepads.
