People are Tools
SteamYour friends are your only gear! In this chaotic co-op adventure, use your teammates as pickaxes, grapples, and tools to navigate procedurally generated caves and find fuel for your ship. Just remember: you’re not alone down here...

Forget carrying a backpack; you are the backpack. Before each expedition, reshape your body into essential gear. Transform your head into a pickaxe, your arms into a grappling hook, or your entire torso into a slingshot. In these caves, being a "tool" is finally a compliment.

While you can use your own attachments, true efficiency comes from collaboration or exploitation. Let your friends swing you at rocks, launch you across pits, or hold you up as a glorified flashlight. The caves don't care about your dignity, and neither should your teammates.

Your ship won't move without fuel. Scavenge resources in the procedurally generated depths and toss them into the furnace. Remember, a teammate (dead or alive) provides surprisingly good mileage.

Navigate labyrinthine tunnels filled with physics-based hazards and creatures that lurk in the dark. Every jump is a risk, and every swing is a potential disaster.

Survive the caves to bring back rare materials. Use them to forge even more absurd body parts, unlocking new ways to traverse the caves and new ways for your team to... "utilize" you.
