'Infestation: Origins' Brings Mickey Mouse's Steamboat Willie Version Into Co-op Horror Game, Early Access Planned - Screens & Trailer

Infestation: Origins is a co-op horror in which you're an exterminator treating sinister infestations caused by twisted versions of classic characters and urban legends.

In the year 1988, what was thought to be an outbreak of vermin morphed into something far more sinister. 

Infestation: Origins is an episodic, four player co-op survival horror game in which you and your friends are exterminators called in to treat these mysterious infestations.

Gather Your Team

  • Private & Public Lobbies: Play with friends, join a public lobby, or play alone for a further challenge.
  • Proximity & Global Voice Chat: Communicate with your team using both in-game positional and global voice chat.
  • Strategize your mission: Spread out to treat the infestation faster or stick together for safety.

Eliminate the Infestation

  • Find the source: Explore unique locations and uncover the story behind how each infestation began. Find the means to access and unlock new areas. Use cameras to keep an eye on activity. Maintain power to enable different systems. Find the source at all costs.
  • Treat the infestation: Utilize a variety of extermination gear to subdue the outbreak. Eradicate all nests and monstrous fiends lurking throughout. Run when you can, hide, help your friends - just don't fall victim to the infestation's spread.
  • Survive: Prepare to face and eliminate a horrific entity, with each episode containing a distinct classic character or urban legend responsible for the infestation.


Infestation: Origins is coming to Steam Early Access in 2024 and will remain so for 6-12 months, but may increase the timeline depending on the scope for further episodes.

“The game has a fully playable loop with up to four players taking the role of exterminators, using tools to quell the infestations in multiple locations. The game is feature-rich, but will benefit greatly from community feedback so we can refine the existing scope and plan new features players want to experience.”

“We plan to add new content in the form of new infestation types, locations, mechanics, equipment, objectives, challenges, achievements, and more. We also want to have the game in a fully polished state by full release.”

Key Features:

  • Replayability - Randomized item layouts, unpredictable AI, custom settings, and more
  • Progression - Gain experience, skins, perks, items, and other unlockables
  • NVIDIA DLSS Support - Experience stunning visuals without sacrificing frame rate

Infestation: Origins is in development for PC (Steam).
