Romul

Romul is a co-op game about exploring abandoned space stations, photographing evidence of what happened to their crews and recovering valuable items. You sell what you find at your base to unlock new stations and more powerful equipment. Stations are procedurally assembled from a wide variety of rooms, so each one is different; some rooms are interactive or dangerous, such as laser rooms and compartments that dump trash into endless space. You have no map and cannot memorize a single route.

Classes and co-op

You can play as one of four character classes: Medic, Soldier, Engineer or Loader. Each class has unique equipment to help complete assigned objectives. You can communicate with friends through voice chat and radio, and can use a microphone and webcam if you have them. You can also replace the frog avatar's face with your own image or a webcam, and upload music to the lobby and items.

Stations and objectives

Photo missions ask you to find and photograph target points on a station, gathering evidence about its former crew. You also search for valuables to take back to the base, but some may be more active than they appear. Stations contain threats including monsters, destroyed sectors and trap rooms, as well as many interactive items.

Gravity and threats

Anti-gravity cores malfunction on some stations. In some areas you float without gravity; in others you walk on the ceiling or walls. A Zero-G tool fires anti-gravity spheres that can lift equipment, valuables, monsters and even friends into the air, where you can secure them with cables. You can use gravity, weapons and hiding places to survive.

Experiments on the stations produced monsters ranging from military bio-robots to animated organic matter. They react to microphone sounds, so your voice can draw their attention.

AI companion robot

You can talk to a fully AI-driven robot in real time about almost any topic. It understands your speech and replies naturally using its own AI-generated voice.

Shop and support tools

At the base, you can sell recovered items to gain access to new stations and more powerful equipment. The shop also offers support tools and upgrades.
