How it feels

Frantic teamwork and betrayal in a claustrophobic submarine as you manage systems, fight alien horrors, and keep the ship from flooding.

What players say

Players say Barotrauma is a chaotic co-op survival game where everything can fall apart in seconds, and the best moments come from shared disasters and player-made problems like stealing fentanyl or smuggling a zombie virus aboard. The game is strongly recommended with friends, but solo play suffers from poor bot AI and growing tedium.
