Space Lite: Starship Nightmares

Cooperative survival on a derelict passenger ship overrun by hostile alien creatures. Players command a five-member squad (shared among 1–5 players) and explore modular ship rooms by revealing new terrain, completing mission objectives, and managing waves of enemies that emerge from all directions. Gameplay alternates between an Event Phase, where environmental hazards and unexpected complications appear, and a Player Phase, where each soldier moves, fights, heals, reloads, or interacts with the ship. Combat uses dice and a variety of weapons, grenades, and action cards, while limited resources and time force tactical choices. Infection and injury are persistent threats: wounds and parasite exposure can mutate crew members, and unchecked contagion can doom the mission regardless of enemy casualties.
