How it plays
Teams split up to restore power, solve the ship's puzzles and collect samples, and proximity voice chat makes every separation tense.
Credits buy better gear between missions, and players can pool their bounty.
It is in early access and one player hosts each session, so everyone needs a copy and the host's connection matters.
