Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 20, 2026)

Scrap hunting with friends while monsters lurk in the dark is the hook here, and it scores 86.5 across 511,683 Steam reviews.

👍 Strengths

186 reviews say it is at its best played together with friends, describing laughter, chaos and memorable co-op sessions, and some also enjoy public lobbies. Multiplayer ranks 66th of 642. 89 call it fun, and some like how it mixes funny moments with real scares. 25 praise the atmosphere of its world, saying the creatures feel genuinely scary and the abandoned facilities hold a strong sense of mystery. Story & World ranks 270th of 1096, and a few note it is cheap for what it offers.

👎 Where it falls short

28 reviews criticize developer support, saying updates slowed down or stopped and that some changes made the game worse, though a few note that updates later returned. 21 find the difficulty punishing, with fast enemies, one hit deaths and teammates dying where you cannot help them. 20 say the loop becomes repetitive over time, and some feel this most when playing solo or once the best routes are known. Gameplay ranks 753rd of 1396, and Visuals & Sound ranks 903rd of 1249.
