Lethal Company is a cooperative horror game where you and your crew work as contracted employees for the ominous "Company." Your job is to travel to abandoned, industrialized moons to collect scrap and sell it to meet an ever-increasing profit quota. The cash you earn can be used to travel to new moons with higher risks and greater rewards, or to buy cosmetic suits and decorations for your ship.
Teamwork is critical to survival. These dangers prey on the vulnerable and the lonesome, and the protection of your crew may be your only hope. You can support your team from the relative safety of the ship by using the radar to call out traps and accessing the ship's terminal to open remotely locked doors. Alternatively, you can all venture into the derelict steel and concrete facilities together. The Company store provides useful tools for the job, including lights, shovels, walkie talkies, and stun grenades. As you explore, you can also scan any creatures you find to add them to your bestiary.
Be warned: things get extremely dangerous at night. You must communicate with your crewmates to carry all valuables back to the ship before conditions become too hazardous, and always try not to leave anyone behind.
