Ready for a new horror co-op adventure? KLETKA just entered Early Access on Steam with Native Linux support and it's quite an unnerving experience to explore it. Note: personal purchase.

Similar in basic style and idea to Lethal Company where you and a bunch of friends (or randoms) will explore a strange complex to gather loot. Here each player is a dangerous convicted criminal sent to Kletka. These apparent crimes are random and each give you a boost, like throwing faeces at a party that gives you a speed boost or the successful resurrection of someone when you joined a cult that gives you +1 lives.

Your sentence? Explore the depths of a massive structure across various floors to find loot, while keeping a hungry elevator stocked full with fuel and flesh. Fail to feed the elevator enough? You become dinner.

The problem is — the floors you explore are quite dangerous. Filled with traps, anomalies and all sorts to separate your head from your body. There will be plenty of deaths ahead. Not just that but Kletka itself, the elevator, has a mind of its own. Sometimes it might be unable to stop, or just refuse to stop where you wanted it to. Even fixing it can be dangerous for your health.

With a thick atmosphere and PS1-era visuals it's actually pretty darn good. And Steam players seem to be enjoying it too with a Very Positive rating.

Compared with the original demo the developer says it's been massively expanded to include:

  • Heart of the Gigastructure mode: 120 floors divided into two biomes. The boss is waiting for you at the end.
  • Endless Mode.
  • Factory biome.
  • 10+ new unique floors.
  • 5+ new enemies and entities.
  • 5+ new random events.
  • 2 new Floor Curses.
  • New objects of the environment and ways to interact with them.
  • New items of equipment.
  • New cosmetics.
  • 7 new achievements.
  • Leaderboards.
  • Steam Workshop.
  • Network code fixes and optimization of GPU and CPU load.
  • Correction of floor generation.
  • Fixing minor bugs that spoil the atmosphere.
  • Many new bugs anomalies have been added.

Since it's in Early Access expect there to be bugs. I've seen the game completely crash to the Steam Library on me, as expected from an unfinished game.

KLETKA | Release Date: 12th December 2024

By the way, it's based on a SAMOSBOR fictional universe, that thing deserved a game for a while now.
