story of my life

[@DiddlyDoink]

I still think my favourite moment of this game so far was when I stepped on a landmine, my companion and I debated about if I was actually stepping on it, it ended with me stepping off it, killing us both and leaving our last member in the ship with no idea we were even in danger

[@a_bit_stale3075]

thats hilarious sounds like straight out of a sketch

[@tylerwalker7220]

I was with two other people and one of them got separated from us two. I mistook a landmine for a weight on one of those bars you squat with and tried to pick it up XDDD the last thing I heard was his scan and him yelling it was a landmine not scrap XDD

[@TryppiDnB]

First mine I saw I thought it was garbage to collect, I kept standing on it strafing back and forth trying to pick it up for like a solid 30 seconds before my whole team finds me and were like "Hey what are you doing?!?!" and I tried walking to them starting to say "I'm trying to pick up this tra-" and we just all blow up.

[@malta7406]

The mark of this being a good game is that I still laughed imagining this description

[@Amber7H]

mine was when I was on dine with my friends and I was just waiting for them in the main room, I didn't realize they had all died, one of them died to a bracken, and the other two died because one of them ran backwards from the bracken into a landmine, killing both of them, when I finally decided to go check on them, I saw the bracken and screamed and ran away back to the ship

[@WakeUpHelsingborg]

The 6:53 "Guys we put the one, colorblind teamember on red dot detection duty" is EXACTLY how teamroles work in this game and i LOVE IT!

[@Ozymandias2x]

"You're gonna have to speak up. Cory can't hear you, he's colorblind."

[@titanobama]

I remember saying: “I FOUND LOOT!” Then exploding because that “loot” was a landmine. That was a good laugh.

[@ilhamamani8452]

The cutoff must be crazy 😭

[@rootntootncowboy]

I did the same thing first time I saw one. Didn't bother using my scanner first I just walked right on top of it and tried to pick it up, said "wtf is this thing why can't I grab it?" scanned and saw "landmine" just before my buddy came into the room to see what was going on. I killed both of us

[@deusvult9439]

Oh yeah I remember that, all of us 4 instantly dieing to "loot" a landmine...

[@gmodiscool14]

my friend annoyed me so i told him to grab a "steering wheel" and then i heard the explosion LMAO

[@thundersoul6795]

Always fun figuring out who the lemming(s) of the group with 0 self preservation is(are). Some just think a mine is some form of loot (hubcap, wheel, roomba, you name it), some try to "defuse" it with a shovel, some are just deaf, blind and maybe a little stupid, all are great assets to the company (as long as they meet quota).

[@The4j1123]

The whole game is like this. IDK how the dev did it, but this game just always has perfect timing. Every monster encounter, every dead friend, everything is a scene straight from a horror movie, and none of it is scripted. Actually incredible game.

[@saqvobase4301]

It's even better when the person was carrying a flashlight, so when they get grabbed the on flashlight is on the ground. Perfect horror

[@ClarkWasHere1]

This game is genius. It's Starship Troopers tier satire about working at a company that gives no shits about you, and will actively hurt you if it deems it profitable or necessary.

@@shifty_dragon3679It isn’t a bad satire from an objective view, but I’m guessing you more so mean in and of itself.

[@underscore_5450]

I don't think a game has ever scared me so fast. I booted it up with my sibling, we messed around, landed the ship, and walked out of ear shot of eachother. That sudden silence and lonliness was actually horrifying. Its hard to put into words how valuable communication is and how much we take it for granted in our hyper connected world. That feeling of "oh shit, if I die here no one will know what happened" is equal parts exhilarating and horrifying.

[@saf_Safira]

I love how it looks, it's so stylized and full of personality. The monsters feel like actual unique creatures not an arbitrary enemy. Nothing feels manufactured just to scare you.

[@saf_Safira]

The design has restraint a AAA game could only dream of

[@camdenharvey3501]

I actually love this take. Most of the stuff is more goofy than scary, but because you know just about everything can/will kill you, and theres a chance nobody will know, that's the thing thats scary.

You know what makes this game so much better while using voice chat? There's a mod called "Skinwalkers" that records audio from you and your friends and plays it back at the location of the monsters. Some of my friends were playing a game where one of them died and #2 was looking for him, and he shouted out "[#1] where are you?" and a monster replied in #1's voice, so #2 didn't realize he was dead until much later. There's tons of hilarious clips that resulted from this mod, I urge you to check it out
