Helping Lethal Company to its booming player count and glowing Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam is its cooperativesurvival gameplay, which tasks players - as workers for an ominous Company - with collecting scrap from abandoned moons.

Those moons aren’t quite fully abandoned, with plenty of gribblies to encounter as you explore. The moons themselves can also be hard to navigate through fog and darkness, with players having the option to stay in the ship and help guide their crewmates,Phasmophobia-style, as they rummage around. You’ll need to rummage well if you hope to hit your Company’s quote in time, or risk the consequences. Bad. They’re bad.

Lethal Company is still in Early Access, and will remain in the works for around six months, Zeekerss expect. In that time, the devs plan to add more creatures, tools, cosmetics - which can be bought with your collected scrap - and maps on top of the seven moons currently in there.
