Games looks nice and all but no remote play together?
I would glady buy the game to play with my friend because we are interested in the game but it doesn't support remote play together and the game is expensive ( 40$) or 20 on sale.
I like to help indie games but this one is expensive for what it is and even if I buy the game , I would like to play with friends but like I said , they cannot afford it and we can't even find a way to play together without having 2 copies of the games... Update us if you ever think about : Remote play together. would gladly buy the game even at full price if it include that.

so your saying that you want 1 copy of the game and then share it around your friends so you can all play together ? Dont think that fair on the people who made the game. " would gladly buy the game even at full price if it include that." but it wouldnt be full price if you share it, it would be half price if your friend has it. Think you might just have to save some cash and buy the game.

you're saying remote play together is stealing when it's a feature. Illl simply pass on the game if doesnt have remote play together , that's all. The kind of game that's fun with friends but too expensive so no one wants to actually buy it , remote play together is a good in between, id would buy it right now on sale , problem is my friends will not buy the game. Was trying to find a way to try this game but I guess we will pass.

Please, who you gonna scare with threatening. Let's not be as impolite :)

Game has regional prices, and as such should be affordable in other countries. Tho, perhaps in your case it's matter of friends being relatively poor, perhaps children? Well you can get the game and try for 2 hours without refunding. It's enough for them to get a taste of some co-op with you.
Only thing to care about would be buying it in a first place, but I think if they have access to PC they may be getting some pocket money or such... could save for it with some time. And if they don't like game they can get ones they like.

Also no, co-op with randoms is also quite fun. You totally can be only one who plays the game and still have fun.

Can we not jump to cheap conclusions? The kids has 250 games in his lib and complaining that this isnt worth the asking price. I would rather jump to the conclusion that this is a cheaploader instead.

Hey-hey, let's not call anyone names or jump to any conclusions :)

To answer OP's question: no, sadly, this is not an option. I am not even entirely sure whether that's a developer/publisher/platform question, either – so I am also somewhat doubtful regarding our future plans for this sort of deal. Sorry that I can't be of more help! For what it's worth, I would like to second what Shiro says: You do not necessarily need to enter this game with friends, as we have friendly people around. If you're interested in taking a closer look at that playerbase to inform your decision, please feel free to stop by our official Discord: discord.gg/undertow

Aright thanks for the clear and kind answers , sadly my friends can't afford the game and I doubt I'll have as much fun by myself or with randoms. I'll keep watching for maybe a dual discounted game bundle or something that allow us to play the game even with limited funds ( my friend lost his job during covid and I personally had to change job 4 times in aprox 8 months). Having had the funds , this post would not even exist , I hope you guys understand and accept my appologies .

I would like to second Dynamoon here. You have nothing to apologize for. Your question was a genuine one, nothing wrong with that. All questions about the game are always welcome.

I would also add that I personally knew absolutely no one who played this game when I bought it. Eventually, by playing with other people, I made new friends, but the craziest thing is that I think I still prefer playing with random people, as it adds a chaotic variable to the game. I like to not know who is who. Is the mechanic a madman? Is the captain an incompetent? Is the security officer trigger-happy? Such unkowns make the game even better online, in my humble opinion.

Just keep this game in your wishlist and buy it when you can and feel like it, I can guarantee you that you won't regret it. I know I don't. :captainclown:

it dosnt have local multiplayer and idk where you come from this game has lot of play time and replayability

Damn, the game is only 25€ (full price) where I am. 40$ does seem pretty steep.

But yeah, usually games that lack local co-op (such as this) will also lack remote play together, because that is pretty much just local co-op streamed to other devices. And I don't think this game will be having local co-op anytime soon, or ever. I don't think it would work (for example considering the possibility for a teammate to be a traitor, having split screen would render that feature kind of redundant).
