Finding, hauling, and extracting the loot
You sweep several maps for anything worth taking, then lift it with a physics-based grabbing tool and carry it to extraction.
Every object is fully physical. You ease a heavy piano around corners, then carry fragile ceramics that break easily, often by accident. You drop a piano end, adjust your grip, and try to keep the ceramics steady while the team works toward its quota of valuables.
Built for a group with voice chat
This is most fun played with friends. Teamwork is needed to deliver the heavy cargo safely.
Proximity voice chat is central to how that feels. You call out a turn, then hear a teammate calling for help through proximity voice chat. Those exchanges turn small mistakes into chaotic moments, and the session often turns to laughing together.
Scary monsters and staying quiet
The monsters are scary, and there are many different types waiting in the ruins. Play stays tense because a carry can go wrong, and you must sometimes stay quiet.
The same pull that drags at the loot drags at the creatures. You hold still, lower a vase slowly, and wait for something heavy to pass. The game divides players on fear: some find it genuinely frightening, others find it more funny than frightening.
What else should you know?
How does carrying valuables work?
You grab fully physics-based objects with a grabbing tool and move them by hand with your team. Heavy things like pianos and fragile ceramics need care and teamwork. Teamwork decides whether the cargo arrives intact, and your crew must meet its quota of valuables.
Is it scary, funny, or both?
Both, though the fun is strongest with friends. The monsters bring real tension, and you have to stay quiet at times. With friends and proximity voice chat, failed carries and close calls often turn into loud, chaotic laughter.
What does earned cash buy?
Earned cash buys upgrades and weapons from your mysterious employer, a computer intelligence.
