‘Panic Delivery’ is coming to Steam in Q2 2026

Press release:
Olevano Romano, March 30, 2025 – Indie developer Invader Studios (Daymare: 1998, Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle) today unveiled Panic Delivery, a chaotic multiplayer co-op horror-comedy where players step into the role of highly disposable couriers in a dystopian world ruled by monsters.

In this delightful corporate nightmare, human clones are the backbone of the workforce, mainly because they’re cheap, replaceable, and moderately edible. Your job? Deliver packages. Your challenge? Survive long enough to complete the route. Each courier team gets 99 lives to burn through, but don’t get comfortable, because management is watching how you spend every single one. In Panic Delivery, failure isn’t just bad for business, it’s fatal. If the customers don’t get you, management definitely will.

Launching in Early Access on PC via Steam in Q2 2025, players will navigate a variety of high-risk assignments across deadly locations, from a monster-infested haunted amusement park and the human-cloning Panic Factory to a mysterious Antarctic base hiding alien secrets. Couriers can take on Delivery, Recovery, and Smuggling missions, each offering unique challenges, dangerous encounters, and high-stakes rewards for those brave enough to survive. Panic Delivery’s 99 Lives system flips the script on traditional horror, turning failure into fuel for chaotic fun as players regroup, respawn, and throw themselves back into the action again and again.

Welcome to the job.

At Panic Delivery, we pride ourselves on efficiency, teamwork, and minimal survival expectations. Strap on your unique, customizable uniform, grab your parcels, and head out into a world where every delivery could be your last. Thankfully, you won’t be alone – team up with up to three other couriers in a frantic 4-player online co-op experience. Just remember: sticking together improves your odds… slightly.

Between monstrous encounters, unpredictable environments, and physics-driven chaos, no shift is ever the same. One minute you’re carefully transporting fragile cargo, the next you’re sprinting for your life while your teammate screams over proximity chat. It’s all part of the service.

Deliver or Die

4-Player Online Co-op Chaos – Team up (or panic solo) to deliver packages across deadly locations, from a monster-infested haunted amusement park and the human-cloning Panic Factory to an Antarctic base hiding alien secrets.

99 Lives System – A shared pool of 99 lives raises the stakes: each team death brings you closer to total failure, wiping session-based progression like packages, items, and earnings. Lives follow the host’s save, while individual progression (cosmetics, challenges, titles) remains intact.

Delivery Missions – Transport packages of varying risk and fragility through hazardous environments. The harder the job, the bigger the reward… if you survive.

Recovery Missions – Lost cargo isn’t lost forever. Use tracking devices to retrieve packages scattered across dangerous terrain.

Smuggling Missions – Join the human resistance by preparing and delivering special packages with unique tools and items… just don’t let management find out.

Survival, Tools & Weapons – Fend off hostile monsters or outrun them using weapons, gadgets, traversal tools, and monster repellents. Sometimes running really is the best option.

Dynamic, Replayable Worlds – Procedurally generated levels keep every run fresh, unpredictable, and full of monstrous surprises.

High-Risk, High-Reward Gameplay – Speed, care, and strategy pay off. Deliver quickly and intact to earn bonuses and stay on the good side of both clients and your monstrous bosses.

Horror Meets Humour – A twisted blend of creepy atmospheres and absurd, tongue-in-cheek comedy ensures every delivery is a chaotic, memorable adventure.

Think you’ve got what it takes to make the delivery? Add Panic Delivery to your wishlist on Steam and join the official Discord community to stay up to date with development, share survival tips, and connect with fellow couriers before Early Access launches.

After all, at Panic Delivery, we’re always hiring… and we’re always watching.
