Subcontractors

Subcontractors is a high-stakes, physics-based co-op disaster simulator for up to eight players. You are a disposable employee of Deep Trench Logistics, tasked with hauling volatile cargo through the crushing darkness of abyssal trenches. The payload is more valuable than your life, and the company trusts the cargo more than your loyalty. Every player is physically chained to the payload, forcing you to move in lockstep. If your team doesn’t synchronize, you won’t just fail the mission—you’ll be crushed in the depths.

• 8-Player Physics Chaos: Designed for large-scale coordination and the potential for accidental sabotage. Feel the full weight of the cargo and the drag of your teammates as you squeeze through tight corridors or glide across open water. Every misstep compounds the danger and raises the stakes.
• Strained Tethers: Your dashboard shows the stress needles climbing. If the indicator flashes, the tethers are at a breaking point. Coordinate thrust and timing, or watch lines snap and a pilot be cut loose to avoid costly search & rescue.
• Procedural Industrial Trenches: No two smuggling runs are the same. Navigate diverse locations with varying cargo profiles, each presenting unique hazards and shifting compensation. Expect fresh challenges and new routes every mission.
• Corporate Accountability: Survive the run to face the Black Box report. Company analytics flag outliers and push the team toward tighter cooperation, turning individual risk into collective behavior.
• Career Progression (Or Lack Thereof): Earn credits to upgrade your Mule submarine—improving navigation through depths and unlocking bigger contracts. Or spend it on a slightly more dignified funeral. Choices shape your fate as you chase larger, riskier hauls.

Subcontractors emphasizes teamwork under extreme pressure, where every pulse of the engine and every tug of the tether matters. The abyss waits, the cargo is priceless, and only perfect synchronization will keep you alive long enough to collect the next contract.
