About
Species: Unknown is a first-person survival horror game, playable in co-op with up to 4 players (private or public servers) or solo. You play as a mercenary sent aboard an abandoned spaceship. Your job? Execute high-risk contracts, make it out alive, and claim your reward. But keep in mind that you’re not alone. Something is hunting you…
Form a squad of up to 4 players to take on different contracts with escalating difficulty. Each mission plays differently depending on your objective, your teammates, the map and which of the 5 intelligent threats is stalking you. No one survives alone, but you can try.

Proximity Chat & Radio are available: distance matters, walls matter. Proximity Chat is bringing more tension, sometimes chaos, and unforgettable moments to your co-op sessions.

Every contract drops you into a different nightmare. Whether you're tasked with extracting a black box, capturing or eliminating an unknown threat, or even destroying the ship to prevent the creature from escaping… Each mission demands a specific strategy and none of them are easy.
The specimen is chosen procedurally from a growing roster of terrifying monsters. Each one comes with distinct behaviors, hunting patterns, strengths, and weaknesses. You’ll need to investigate your surroundings to gather vital clues and identify the threat in order to proceed smoothly (or not). Do your job and get rewarded, or die without anyone knowing.

Strategize as a group, make smart use of your tools that can turn the tide, if only for a moment:
Motion Tracker : Detect nearby movement and prepare for what's coming
Shield : Block deadly attacks and buy time for your team
Health Syringe : Heal yourself or allies in the heat of battle
Mini-Map : Navigate pitch-black corridors with real-time positional data
Guns won’t always save you. Some threats are too resistant or simply untouchable. But the right weapon, found at the right time, can help you push through or even take the creature down.

The higher the risk, the higher the reward. Completing contracts earns you credits you can use to:
Upgrade your gear
Buy new tools
Customize your appearance
Gather lore and build your own creature museum

amazing game and fun to play with mates
no hebrew in preferred language. But there is russian for some reason
fun as hell me and two of my mates had a whole movie moment tring to destroy the station while running from a robot with a minigun
協力型サバイバルホラーとしてかなり出来が良い ゲームの舞台である放棄された宇宙船の雰囲気がSFとしてもかなり良好で、プレイヤーが乗ってる宇宙船のモニタや緊急脱出時の演出もかなり作り込まれていてとにかく雰囲気が良い 敵は結構な頻度でプレイヤーにちょっかいをかけにくるが、知識をちゃんと持っていたり気をつけていれば対策できるレベルなので難しすぎたり理不尽だったりということは無い 最初は雰囲気も相まって若干怖いかな~くらいだけどすぐ慣れる 閉所、暗所恐怖症じゃなければ遊べると思う ゲームとしてはまだアーリーアクセスでコンテンツ不足感は否めないが、今後に期待 てか1200円は安すぎる (ゲーム内VCの遅延がすごいのは直してほしい)
i like phasmophobia, but this is like if phasmophobia was a legitimately good game
