Your light gives you away
The suit lamp shows you the deck, and shows you to the hive. Some of them hunt by sound, some swarm to light, and one only moves in the dark.
Deck by deck, wave by wave
Breach and clear rooms, weld hull vents shut, build auto-sentry turrets and take the turbo-lift down through eight decks to the Hive Reactor.
Solo, or bring a squad
Deploy alone, or bring two AI marines who form up and fight beside you; raise the squad to three mid-run. Pick an operative and one of five weapon classes before you go.
Fights with weight
Dodge at the last instant for slow motion and a double-damage riposte. Break a brute’s poise to stagger it. Chain kills into Bloodrush.
At a glance
XENO // BREACH is a top-down pixel-art sci-fi horror roguelite. An alien hive has taken the starship U.S.S. Aethelgard. You deploy as a marine, alone or with AI squadmates, and sweep the ship deck by deck: breach and clear rooms, weld the vents, build sentry turrets and survive the swarm wave after wave. Your suit lamp lets you see and lets them see you.

Questions
Is XENO // BREACH free?
The first deck, Docking Bay 7, is free to play with no time limit. The full game, all eight decks, is a one-time $4.99. There are no ads, no accounts and no energy timers.
What is the Lynxed All-Access pass?
One subscription that unlocks every Lynxed game on lynxedgames.com, XENO // BREACH included: $19.99 a month, or $119.99 a year. One purchase code unlocks every game in the same browser. You can cancel at any time.
Where can I play it?
In any modern browser on a computer, phone or tablet, at xenobreach.lynxedgames.com. You can add it to your home screen and it then plays offline. Android and iOS apps are coming.
Is it the same game as Bloomfall?
It is the next version of it. XENO // BREACH is BLOOMFALL rebuilt in space by the same studio: the light-and-noise horror and weighty combat stayed, the fungal town became a starship, and runs became deck sweeps against waves of the hive.
Does it work offline?
Yes. After your first visit the game is stored on your device, so it starts and plays with no connection. New versions download in the background, and a restart button appears on the title screen when one is ready, never in the middle of a run.
Can I play with friends?
Squad Co-op puts two AI marines at your side, and you can change the squad from none to three mid-run. There is no online multiplayer.
What are the controls?
On a computer: WASD to move, the mouse to aim and fire, Space for a thruster dash, C for Overdrive and sonar, Q or X to swap weapons, E to weld vents and buy, T to build a turret and B or Tab for the squad panel. On a phone: on-screen stick and buttons.
If I buy it in the browser, how do I get it on another device?
There are no accounts. Your purchase is tied to a purchase code shown in the game after you buy. Enter it with Restore on another device. Your emailed receipt helps us find it if you lose it.
