R.E.P.O. Overview

R.E.P.O. (Retrieve, Extract, & Profit Operation) is an online co-op multiplayer horror game for 1-6 players, developed and published by semiwork. Released exclusively on Steam Early Access on February 26, 2025, it serves as a standalone title and the studio’s second game following 2023’s Voidigo.

Drawing inspiration from games like Lethal Company and PILGRIM, R.E.P.O. challenges players to infiltrate haunted locations and retrieve valuable items while evading the lurking horrors within. Featuring physics-based stealth mechanics, as well as upgrade and shop systems, the game pushes players to meet their quota—whether through skill or sheer luck—or die trying.

R.E.P.O. Gameplay

R.E.P.O.'s gameplay follows a cyclical structure, requiring players to meet a cash quota by looting haunted locations for valuables across a series of subsequent stages. Each stage begins with players arriving at a new location in their armored truck, which doubles as their escape vehicle once the quota is met.

Once inside, players must search for valuable objects and transport them to the extraction point, all while avoiding the lurking dangers. The quota increases significantly with each stage, pushing players to take greater risks for higher rewards. To aid in their mission, they can use various tools, including a physics-based grab mechanic to lift and carry items, as well as a cart that helps transport multiple objects while tracking their total value.

The game’s physics-based object manipulation plays a crucial role, as rough handling can decrease an item’s worth or render it completely useless. Bumping valuables against walls, monsters, or even other players can lead to costly mistakes. The same physics-driven mechanics apply to player movement, meaning environmental hazards, hostile entities, and even teammates can send players tumbling.

Roaming each location are various entities and monsters, each with distinct abilities and behaviors. Some rely on sound to detect players, while others require a direct line of sight. Some can be fought off, while others are invulnerable, forcing players to either strategize their escape or risk an encounter. Balancing stealth, teamwork, and resource management is key to surviving and making it out with enough profit to move on to the next job.
