Lethal Company

Lethal Company is a cooperative survival horror game where players work as contracted employees collecting scrap from abandoned industrial moons. The objective is to gather enough valuable materials to meet the profit quota demanded by the Company. Players explore dangerous facilities, avoid hostile creatures, and return with loot before the deadline expires.

Working for the Company

The game takes place in a retro-futuristic setting where crews travel between different moons searching for salvage. Each expedition begins aboard a ship that acts as both transportation and a safe zone. Players select a destination, land on a moon, and enter abandoned facilities filled with scrap, traps, and environmental hazards.

There is no traditional story campaign with scripted missions or chapters. Instead, the narrative is presented through the setting, environmental details, and scattered logs found during exploration. The main focus remains on surviving long enough to fulfill company quotas while uncovering clues about the world and its abandoned locations.

Exploring Dangerous Moons

Each moon contains different risks, environmental conditions, and loot opportunities. Some locations are relatively safe, while others contain stronger enemies and higher-value scrap. As quotas increase, crews often need to visit more dangerous moons in order to earn enough credits before the deadline.

Meeting the Profit Quota

The controls focus on movement, item collection, inventory management, and interaction with equipment. Players use tools such as flashlights, walkie-talkies, shovels, and scanners to survive while transporting scrap back to the ship. Managing inventory space becomes increasingly important during longer runs.

Lethal Company does not use traditional levels. Progression is based on quota cycles that become harder after every successful delivery. New moons, equipment, and challenges gradually become available as crews earn more credits. The combination of cooperative exploration, procedurally generated environments, hostile creatures, and increasing profit requirements creates a survival experience where teamwork and risk management are often more important than combat.
