Once Human is an open-world multiplayer survival game set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland infected by an extraterrestrial substance known as Stardust. Blending looter-shooter gunplay with supernatural powers, players explore a seamless 256 square kilometer map while scavenging resources, crafting equipment, and building customized shelters. Combat is playable in both first-person and third-person perspectives against anomalous creatures and rival survivors across dedicated PvE and PvP scenarios.
A central feature of the gameplay loop is collecting companion creatures called Deviations. These entities aid players during exploration and combat, automatically gather raw materials, and manage automated chores at homesteads. Character customization includes optional specialized classes, such as the Beastmaster or Gardener, which unlock unique abilities for taming animals or harvesting crops.
