MAINTAINER

About this game

MAINTAINER

MAINTAINER is a 4-player co-op survival horror game where one player becomes the traitor.

Each match begins at sunrise.

Your crew arrives for another shift. Explore the map, gather fuel, collect resources, and prepare before night falls.

Choose how long to prepare. Spend more time scavenging, or skip ahead and face the darkness. Every match is fast-paced, with every minute counting.

At sunset, the lighthouse activates.

Keep the lighthouse operational by refueling the generator, repairing electrical failures, and fixing broken systems.

When night falls, one player is randomly chosen to become the traitor. Hunt down the crew before sunrise, while the survivors work together to keep the lighthouse running and escape by boat.

Operators

Choose from multiple operators, each offering a different way to approach the night.

Unlock new operators through progression and expand your options as you play. However, survival comes with consequences. Losing an operator means losing access to them until they are purchased again.

Choosing who to bring into a match becomes a decision that carries risk.

Traitors

Not every traitor behaves the same way.

Different traitor types feature their own combinations of abilities, encouraging different hunting strategies and creating new situations each match.

Some may focus on mobility, while others excel at controlling space, separating survivors, or putting pressure on groups trying to work together.

Learning how to respond to each traitor becomes an important part of surviving.

Maps

Every map is handcrafted with its own theme, layout, and challenges.

From wide open areas to tight, dangerous spaces, each location requires different strategies.
