Despite his high partner request, Repo is Steam's most recent viral horror – but the developers are working on matchmaking

Repo is a six-player co-op extraction point that is currently sitting in the bestseller charts from Steam after he has accumulated around 70,000 players in the week after the early start on February 26 and another 160,000 players. That is about 230 thousand players who avoid knife frogs and persistent duck chicks while extracting valuables to fill a bar quota. It's a bit fatal, but even more difficult for the absurdity.

As far as I can judge this, this popularity depends on two things. First, the game is a green Flub factory that is filled with the kind of chaotic physics breakdown, which translates very well into short video clips. Even the prey extraction point can kill them if they pause for too long. Second, the 'Jim Henson Nier Automata' robot plays, which she plays as a mouth for her microphone chatter, and even makes the most intestinal fear that her teammates look like a Hammy comedy routine.

Usually I would spend a croaking complaint that I was too old for something viral – the sharp dust cloud from my throat, which is currently in the air before I cascaded down and coated in a dirty shine of the irrelevance – but Repo actually looks great. It looks like, however, you need five willing friends to play: a really biblical amount of friends, in the sense that it would be faster to carve co-op partners out of my own ribs than to get this type of Byzantine planning out.

Good news Re: My organs that remain shielded – developers plan – to present public or private matchmaking. This is delivered with a kick button to keep the players honest, although they say that it is not easy because the server coding is a new floor for them. Here is the update video.

Entry to Ironmates mode is a new museum level, which you show through the process of a award-winning box Parkour. There is also some quality of life, such as a limit at extraction points to show when prey is outside the borders so that they are not accidentally crushed. Semiwork also shows a square, angry facial expression. Finally there is a bucket that you can beat over the Ent Eckling monster that motherhood likes on one of your crew, and follows them when they stand in their way and bite everyone who tries to touch it.

My current idea of ​​the day is the Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of the “Chronotopes” -time and room configurations as a kind of context bubble -as mentioned in the comments on the community member #9976 booked for the week. A 15-minute internet rabbit hole with coffee this morning led me to this video of the extremely audible Belgian sociolinguist Jan Blommaert, who gives the example of a lecture: the room is the hall, the time is the lecture slot, and this special chronotopes encourages or necessary identities, roles or modities. Games for social extraction? You, um, you may start to understand why I am enthusiastic about repos no-mates mode.
