About This Game

Board a dead ship, do the job and get out alive before the creatures hear you.

Orbital Intruder is a top-down co-op extraction horror. Your group boards a derelict spaceship, fulfils the contract and returns to the shuttle. Only those who make it out get paid.

You are an operative of Rookline Recovery, a private military company that takes the jobs everyone else turned down. The ships are huge and newly abandoned: the reactor cannot power every section, some sections are sealed, some are open to vacuum, and light burns only where there is current. The crew lies where it was caught. The ship is not empty.

A Ship Full of Creatures

Salvage crews call them Intruders. They live aboard: they keep to their own sections, hide in the dark, feed on what is left of the crew and grow. They need no air, and vacuum does not stop them. Somewhere aboard is their lair, and new ones hatch from its clutch. They come to noise, and the longer you stay aboard, the more dangerous the run.

Alone or With Friends

• Solo or online co-op for up to four players
• A downed operative bleeds out unless a teammate gets them up in time
• The fallen keep their gear, and the group can carry it home

Do the Job and Get Out

The contract names the ship and the job: recover the flight recorder, take a tissue sample, bring the ship's systems back online. Loot waits in lockers and holds, but searching takes time. A few valuables are worth nearly a whole contract, and they lie where it is most dangerous.

• The deck map shows what you have scouted; everything else stays dark
• Doors, section power, alarms and lights are a way to control the ship and a way to get into trouble
• Steam, live cables and fire hurt you and the creatures alike
• Pistol and rifle, flares, motion tracker, turrets, noise beacons: every tool has its price
• Decide together when to push deeper and when to run for the shuttle

Between Contracts

Back aboard your own ship, sell what you carried out, buy ammo and gear, study the samples you brought back. Rookline sold you this ship on credit: every few contracts an instalment falls due, and dying adds a bill for your restoration. Pay off the debt and the ship is yours. The higher your standing with Rookline, the more dangerous and better paid the contracts.

A Dead Ship Is Never Empty

Ships don't become derelicts without a reason. Corporate reports call them accidents, contamination events or reactor failures. Salvage crews have another name for them: Intruder incidents.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI is one of our tools. It was used to create sounds we couldn't find in libraries, the characters' voices, and some of the 3D models. For the characters, AI provided a base: we refined and animated those models by hand.

Orbital Intruder is a co-op horror game about a hired crew searching abandoned spaceships while an alien predator hunts them. It contains frequent violence and gore: realistic blood, wounds, dead bodies and the remains of a ship's crew. Players' characters can be killed by the creature, which feeds on the dead and can drag a wounded character away and eat them alive. The game has tense, frightening moments and jump scares. Alcohol appears in the environment, and characters can use combat stimulants.
