Species: Unknown is a first-person survival horror game, playable in online co-op with up to 4 players or solo (private or public server). You play as a mercenary sent aboard an abandoned spaceship. Your job? Execute high-risk contracts, make it out alive, and claim your reward. But keep in mind that you’re not alone. Something is hunting you…

 

TEAM UP.

Form a squad of up to 4 players to take on different contracts with escalating difficulty. Each mission plays differently depending on your objective, your teammates, the map and which of the 5 intelligent threats is stalking you. No one survives alone, but you can try.

 

EXECUTE.

Every contract drops you into a different nightmare. Whether you're tasked with extracting a black box, capturing or eliminating an unknown threat, or even destroying the ship to prevent the creature from escaping… Each mission demands a specific strategy and none of them are easy.

The specimen is chosen procedurally from a growing roster of terrifying monsters. Each one comes with distinct behaviors, hunting patterns, strengths, and weaknesses. You’ll need to investigate your surroundings to gather vital clues and identify the threat in order to proceed smoothly (or not). Do your job and get rewarded, or die without anyone knowing.

 

SURVIVE.

Strategize as a group, make smart use of your tools that can turn the tide, if only for a moment:

  • Motion Tracker : Detect nearby movement and prepare for what's coming

  • Shield : Block deadly attacks and buy time for your team

  • Health Syringe : Heal yourself or allies in the heat of battle

  • Mini-Map : Navigate pitch-black corridors with real-time positional data

 

Guns won’t always save you. Some threats are too resistant or simply untouchable. But the right weapon, found at the right time, can help you push through or even take the creature down.

REPEAT.

The higher the risk, the higher the reward. Completing contracts earns you credits you can use to:

  • Upgrade your gear

  • Buy new tools

  • Customize your appearance

  • Gather lore and build your own creature museum
