MISERY is a challenging survival co-op game set in a post-apocalyptic nuclear disaster zone, supporting one to five players online. Players scavenge through procedurally generated ruins to gather resources, craft weapons, and construct their own bunkers for defense against anomalies, monsters, and hostile bandits.

The tactical scarcity of resources creates tense moments throughout sessions, while the multiplayer co-op aspect significantly enhances replayability.
