Lethal Company is a trending co-op survival indie horror game that was published on October 24, 2023, by the developer, Zeekeerss and the game is currently in early access. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic and retrofuturistic dystopian world. An anonymous corporate organization named the “Company” hires players on a contract to explore abandoned and industrialized moons to collect scraps for sale and meet a profit quota every 3 days. During these exploration adventures on the moons, players have to go through many experiences including facing monsters and being lost amongst many other things. 

Now, oddly enough, Lethal Company has an interesting mechanic that accumulates all these features to create something known as “Insanity” which increases by levels. The levels of insanity increase based on many different factors and it also is used by one of the most dangerous monsters in the game.
