PANEL COORDINATES / SOURCE CHECK 2026-08-08 / NO PERSONAL PLAYTEST CLAIM
Why this page exists: Exact observed query: group planning before buying or starting a session.
The confirmed limit
Steam lists support for 2–4 players, and the developer’s announcement uses the same range. That agreement is the only group-size claim this guide makes.
For a normal game night, four is the documented ceiling. If five or more people are present, rotate someone between sessions instead of expecting a supported larger lobby.
What this does not establish
The sources do not explain the exact host flow, whether everyone needs a separate copy, or a supported way to exceed four. Those details stay unclaimed here.
- More-than-four-player mod support: not documented by the official sources checked.
- Local/couch availability: see the separate couch co-op status guide.
