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

One of the best co-op horror games , the atmosphere is awesome giving you real horror vibe the way you identify the spaceimen is unique . overall great game can't wait for the new updates
Very nice
very fun game sitting on 22k cash for future stuff to come out i already bought everything there is to buy nly thing to do is the data and kill the specimen and my friends and i had an idea what about a second or third map becouse they felt it was getting repitive with the same map layout other wise fun horror game with actual jumpscares like zombies coming outta nowhere or jumping onto you by waiting behind a door without making a sound
7/10
macht richtig spaß
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the adrealine rush is awesome
Incredibly fun and nerve wracking game looking forward to future updates
Really nice game, specially for the price! As of now there isn't that much content, but it sure has a lot of potential!! The game has its scary moments, and you do have to learn and plan a strategy for each monster, which is really nice; if they keep up adding new monsters and maps, this game will be a really strong one
игра конечно хорошая, отличная графика, оптимазация хорошая, но минус в том, что не разнообразия в картах и задания однотипные
one of the best games I've played with my friends and we all enjoyed every minute when we all first played the game for the fist time we didn't know what we needed to do cause of the doors was locked we played the first mission for 4 hours straight just to find out to go to that locked door we got to go to the vents and we all cried finding out we wasted all that time XD enjoyed every second of this game
