Lethal Company is a cooperative friendslop survival‑horror video game developed and published by Zeekerss, released in early access on October 23, 2023, for Windows PC. In the game, players take on the roles of contracted workers for a corporation known as “The Company”, exploring abandoned industrial moons to collect and sell scrap in order to meet continually rising profit quotas.
The gameplay loop revolves around risk‑reward decisions, as valuable scrap is often located near environmental hazards and hostile creatures that can kill player characters. Players must coordinate with up to three others in real time, manage limited inventory space, and extract before the deadline to retain their haul and progress. The game supports online co‑op and proximity chat, and features procedurally generated locations and a variety of monsters and weather hazards.
