R.E.P.O. is an online co-op horror game developed by Semiwork, a small indie team based in Uppsala, Sweden. The title stands for "Retrieve, Extract, and Profit Operation," encapsulating its core gameplay loop. Released in Early Access on Steam on February 26, 2025, it has quickly gained popularity for its blend of horror, comedy, and physics-based mechanics.

In R.E.P.O., up to six players team up as small, robot-like characters tasked with scavenging valuable items from haunted, abandoned locations. The objective is to locate objects—ranging from fragile ceramics to heavy pianos—transport them to an extraction point, and meet a cash quota set by a mysterious entity known as the "Taxman" or a faceless AI employer. The catch? These environments are crawling with a variety of monsters, like floating heads, killer clowns, and aggressive gnomes, each with unique behaviors that require players to adapt through stealth, teamwork, or combat.

What sets R.E.P.O. apart is its exaggerated physics system. Players use a gravity-beam tool to manipulate objects, but mishandling them—bumping into walls, dropping them, or clashing with teammates—can reduce their value or destroy them entirely. This adds a layer of slapstick chaos to the horror, making it as hilarious as it is tense. The game also features proximity voice chat, enhancing communication (and panic) among players, and offers upgrades like weapons and stat boosts to improve survival odds.

Currently priced at $9.99 on Steam, R.E.P.O. is still in Early Access, with Semiwork planning to expand it over 6-12 months (or longer, given its success) by adding more levels, enemies, customization, and lore. While it shares similarities with games like *Lethal Company*, its focus on physics and cooperative chaos gives it a distinct flavor. It’s a roguelike experience with no definitive end—players progress through increasingly difficult stages until they fail, either restarting or battling it out in a "King of the Losers" arena if the team wipes. Perfect for groups looking for a mix of scares and laughs, it’s already a hit, boasting a 96% positive rating from tens of thousands of Steam reviews as of early 2025.
