What is Unfortunate Spacemen?

In multiplayer matches across space-based locations, spacemen complete randomized objectives to call for rescue from a failing outpost while a shapeshifting monster impersonates players, sets traps, and attacks. This free-to-play social deduction action game also has solo and co-op story missions against an insect swarm and a survival mode built around enemy waves.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy using proximity chat to bluff and investigate
  • +you want wave-based co-op fights against escalating enemies

Not for you if...

  • −you want multiplayer without suspicion or betrayal
