Glory to The Company!

This month’sRPS Game Clubpick isLethal Company, the indie co-ophorror gamewhere you must collect scrap for a mysterious Company or face the ultimate penalty… being fired.

Oh, and death.

For the observant readers out there, you’ll notice that we’ve bumpedLethal Companyup in theRPS Game Club calendar. Unfortunately, Ollie has been ill recently (get well soon Ollie!) so, you’ll have to put up with me slightly earlier than planned.

In Lethal Company you’re a humble worker employed by a shady, enigmatic Company (with a capital C). Your job is simple: travel to distant moons, collect scrap, then return and literally feed it to the open mouth of the corporation in a way that our ever-hungryRPS Mawwould be jealous of. The catch is, these worlds are populated by weird and wonderfulmonsters, most of which want to kill you - if The Company doesn’t get you first.

The more profit you earn, the more equipment you can get to make your job easier. You’ll also gain access to higher-level moons where the dangers are considerably ramped up, but so is the scrap value.

The game is still in early access, so expect the odd bug here and there (and I’m not talking about Hoarding Bugs, although they are adorable). You can pick it up for yourself for just £8.50/$10.78on Steam.

I’ll set the liveblog date and time forFriday 26th April, 4 PM GMT. I hope to see you there to share some silly moments we’ve experienced in the game or to share some existential thoughts about capitalism. Glory to the Company!
