The verdict
A Lethal Company-style co-op looter whose AI mimics copy your friends' voices, creating hilarious paranoia. Skip it if you play solo or want deep content.
Great for
Groups of 3-5 friends who want paranoid, funny voice-chat chaos
Main risk
Gets repetitive fast, mimics become easy to spot, and monster spawns feel unfair
