Team up with friends to haul valuable junk through haunted, monster-filled ruins in a post-apocalyptic world.

R.E.P.O. is an online co-op horror game where you and up to five others use physics-based tools to grab and move objects like pianos or fragile vases, all while dodging scary creatures.

I think fans of Lethal Company will love its mix of teamwork, tension, and funny mishaps.
