Multiplayer: Full Game or Demo?

Check Casualties: Unknown co-op support: the base game is single-player, while community mod v5.5.0 targets release 1.0 with an explicit testing limitation.

Casualties: Unknown lists single-player on Steam. Co-op comes from the community Casualties Together mod, not an official multiplayer mode.

Current compatibility matters

Mod release Author’s stated target
v5.5.0 — 10 November 2026 Full game v1.0
v5.4.0 — 9 November 2026 Demo v7.0.1 and full game v1.0, with an unfinished full-game port warning
v5.3.1 — 8 November 2026 Demo v7.0.1

The v5.5.0 author says the full-game update is not thoroughly tested, although they report completing it from start to end. That is an author report, not our playtest or a guarantee of a stable session.

Before downloading

Identify whether each player owns the full game or uses the separate demo. Read the selected release’s target and assets. The repository README still links the demo as a prerequisite, so the versioned release notes are essential for the newer full-game branch.

What changes in full-game co-op

The v5.5.0 notes add character selection: everyone chooses a character and uses Ready Up before the host starts. They also document continuing synchronization limitations, including unreliable crystal effects in Crystalline Hollow.

Follow installation for the documented folder layout, and use connection checks if the expected multiplayer interface does not appear.
