A ride to the moon. A place to disappear. Then the screaming starts.
You’re a drifter with a hangover, a battered shotgun, and no interest in becoming alien lunch. Fight your way from a dying moonbase into places that should have stayed buried.
Meet your next bad decision
17 FRIENDLY FACES. RELATIVELY SPEAKING.
Recruit fighters. Find supplies. Bring somebody back alive.
SURVIVOR REFUGE · PROMOTIONAL ARTWORK
A veteran with a shotgun and very little patience. Recruit him, call the shots, and give the next ambush a second problem.
RECRUIT / COMMAND / REVIVE
Four recruitable companions. Seven survivors and traders. Six additional local crew designs; local names and roles vary between encounters.
NO CLEAN GETAWAYS
Crew under fire. Orders to give. Bad decisions to survive.
MAKE THE CALL
Carry the power cell in. Take the time to restart the control quietly. Pressure and oxygen systems take a little longer.
Then defend the repairs. Nearby fighters speed the work; contested progress holds. Cut three infestation links to finish the sabotage.
0.12.0 · THE LONGER SHIFT UPDATE
Every campaign has more ground to cover, more people in trouble and more ways to make a mess. Follow the main route, take a salvage detour, and try to clock out with your organs.
In-game capture · Extreme BloodBring Briggs, Vale, Mateo and Luis along. Tell them where to defend, focus their fire, regroup, or send someone to help a downed teammate.
Armed survivors defend themselves before you recruit them. Civilians and traders scatter, hide and react to nearby fighting. Help a downed friendly back up; your recruited squad carries forward through the campaigns.

All 45 levels now have 24 or 36 rooms across two or three decks. Return corridors, side routes and 240 main objectives give each expedition more to do. Built around a 15–25 minute exploration pace; your route and difficulty determine the actual time.
Nine local crew members appear in six smaller encounters per level. Companions and traders are spread along the journey. Enemies flank, fire short bursts and commit to melee lunges you can dodge. Reinforcements leave room for recovery and reserve pressure for later decks.
120 optional salvage trails reward exploration. Recover two cases on a deck and return to its exchange for credits plus ammunition, armor or health. Every level still has three secrets. Completed rewards stay completed when you reload.
Wider impact sprays, tumbling fragments, wall splatter and spreading pools make combat hit harder. Extreme is on by default. Choose Standard, Reduced or Off in Gameplay options. Desktop and browser versions both support surface splatter.
Contextual tips introduce controls when you need them. Repair feedback explains what stopped the work. Allies make room when you push through, and the squad display keeps health and orders in view.
Four difficulties, remappable controls, subtitles, adjustable HUD, first-person play and an optional shoulder camera let you make the disaster your own.
