Hazard Pay

HAZARD PAY
Co-op hazmat cleanup for 1–4 players. Heavy lifting, glowing goo, and something in the dark that likes noise.

You’re the cleanup crew. The lab is a radioactive mess and the company wants it emptied before the truck leaves. Suit up, pull the airlock lever and haul out everything worth money.

How it plays

• Carry it together. Aim and grab with your beam, and use the mouse wheel to push or pull. Vats and tanks take two people, and they slosh.
• Don’t drop it. Dropped vats leak, glass shatters, and spilled goo leaves slippery, glowing puddles.
• Watch your dose. Your Geiger counter clicks louder as radiation builds. Decon showers wash it off. A full dose ends your shift.
• Make quota. Load the truck, hit DEPART and get paid. Each contract raises the quota.
• New lab every contract. Labs, storage, offices, decon rooms and reactor cores, behind sliding airlock doors. Some rooms are lit. Some aren’t.
• The Glow. Something lives down there. Noise and light draw it, so keep your voice down and your lamp off. The airlock is the one place it won’t follow.
• Proximity voice chat. Hear your crew through their suit radios. If you die, you spectate and talk only with the other dead.
