R.E.P.O. (Retrieve, Extract and Profit Operation) is a chaotic, fully physics-based 6-player co-op survival horror comedy developed by Swedish studio semiwork. Similar in spirit to Lethal Company, players take on the role of 'Semibots' working under the employ of a mysterious, heartless computer intelligence. Your objective is to venture into the terrifying, haunted remains of a long-lost humanity to locate, transport, and extract valuable, physics-heavy objects—ranging from fragile ceramics to massive dinosaur statues and heavy pianos. The twist is that everything in the game, including the terrifying monsters that hunt you, is strictly bound by Newton's laws of gravity and physics. Between frantic extraction runs, players visit a 'Service Station' where they spend their hard-earned cash (known as SURPLUS) on permanent robotic upgrades, weapons, explosives, and vital resources. Built heavily around proximity voice chat and emergent physical comedy, the game prioritizes verbal cooperation, strategic planning, and hilarious catastrophic failures.
