O2GETHER Co-Op Survival Game Launches October 29
Space is already difficult enough to survive without having three friends accidentally sending your oxygen supply spinning into the void. That is essentially the setup for iterco’s O2GETHER, a new one-to-four-player co-operative survival game launching on PC on October 29.
The game follows a group of space couriers left stranded after their ship is destroyed. Rather than piloting another vessel to safety, players are stuck outside among the wreckage and must navigate towards a distant space station using full six-degrees-of-freedom movement.
The catch is that everyone depends on one shared oxygen tank, turning something as basic as breathing into a group logistics problem.
Everyone Shares the Same Oxygen Supply
The central tank does not automatically follow the team. Someone needs to physically grab and move it through the environment, while momentum, collisions and hazards can send both players and their precious supply drifting away.
Each astronaut also has a smaller personal oxygen reserve that refills whenever they return close to the main tank. Players can detach to scout ahead or collect supplies, but staying away for too long leaves them unconscious and dependent on somebody else mounting a rescue.
That should create plenty of opportunities for cooperation to fall apart in spectacular fashion, particularly once spinning wreckage, electrified corridors and meteor showers get involved. The announcement trailer gives an early look at that combination of zero-gravity movement and physical co-op chaos.
Eight Stages With Randomised Layouts
O2GETHER will launch with eight hazard-themed stages, each using randomised layouts to make repeated trips towards the station less predictable.
The Unity-developed project is also notable as the first original game developed directly through iterco’s Jakarta operation. The Southeast Asian studio and publisher has been steadily expanding its presence in Indonesia, including through the recent launch of its iterhaus creative game development hub in Jakarta.
Post-launch plans already include new astronaut cosmetics, an interactive physical lounge for the pre-game lobby and additional deep-space biomes.
O2GETHER Demo Comes to Steam Next Fest
Players can try the game before launch through a free demo during Steam Next Fest from October 19 to 26. The full game then arrives three days later on October 29, exclusively for PC via Steam. It can already be wishlisted on Steam.
With its shared oxygen mechanic, O2GETHER looks less interested in asking whether you can survive space and more concerned with whether your friends can be trusted with the air supply.
