History VideoGame / UnfortunateSpacemen

* NoOSHACompliance: Several maps have high places where the railings that ought to prevent people slipping off to their deaths are either missing or broken. An unwary Spaceman can be [[RailingKill pushed to their deaths]] by sneaky-enough Traitors or disguised Monsters. The Emergency Material Ejectors on Shapeshift maps can also be used this way, though here the unfortunate Spaceman gets shoved in, the doors shut closed, and they get launched to their deaths that way.

** A later update made the "clean the landing pad of debris" task more complicated by requiring Spacemen to carry a garbage bag filled with debris to a trash compactor and squeeze it into a cube so that it can be launched via E.M.E. [[NoOSHACompliance Typical of Company saftey culture]], the compactor machine requires that the Spaceman walk inside the machine to set down the bag -- another can activate the machine while that unfortunate spacemen is inside to trap them and get crushed to death along with the debris, which still must be launched to complete the task even with mangled human limbs mixed in among the metal scraps.

* DisposingOfABody: The Monster can eat the corpse of killed Spacemen to dispose of the body so that its color can't be reported as "dead" (and thus render the Monster unable to shapeshift into that particular color without arousing suspicion). Eating the body will also give the Monster health, unless the Spaceman has the Antibodies perk.

* RemixedLevel: The Recruitment map is essentially an expanded version of the level where the game's first tutorial for learning how to play as a regular Spacemen takes place, while the Architects map is likewise one for where the second tutorial for learning how to play as the Monster takes place.

* SpaceStation: Two of the maps are space stations up in orbit around planets. Definitely adds to the horror atmosphere when you're a spaceman trying to get off before the Monster kills you.

* DisposableIntern: Between the way The Company treats them as expendable (mainly through the Spokesman's verbal callousness over how he values Company property over lives)
and its training scripts for the tutorial level with a half-hearted effort, The Company clearly doesn't think all that much of its employees.

* RemixedLevel: The Recruitment map is essentially an expanded version of the level where the game's tutorial takes place.

* TwoKeyedLock: Restoring the power to a map functions like this, since two generators need to be restarted within a short time of each other and they're too far apart for one person to hit one and then run to the other in time. The requirement is lifted if only one Spaceman is alive.

* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The Traitor is the only human to be against the Spaceman and will work with the monster.

* CutTheJuice: Monsters and Traitors can sabotage the map's power to hinder the Spacemen by making some tasks (launching sealed samples, turning on transmitters) unable to be completed and rendering cameras, teleporters, and the weapon vending machine useless until power can be restored.

* RemixedLevel: The RecruitmentMap is essentially an expanded version of the level where the game's tutorial takes place.

* ColorCodedMultiplayer: Each player is randomly assigned a different color at the start of each match. In Shapeshifter mode that color is how the players are identified, rather than their gamertag username from Steam.

* ImpostorExposingTest: The medical station, health syringes, and trip mines have the ability to detect whether the person in front of it detects alien parasites, i.e., is not human. This isn't foolproof, however -- medical stations and trip mines will also alert when used by humans that have been infected with parasites, and medical stations can further be fooled by a Monster using a detached limb to remotely trigger it when an innocent Spaceman is using it.

* TwoKeyedLock: Restoring the power to a map functions like this, since two generators are need to be restarted within a short time of each other and they're too far apart for one person to hit one and then run to the other in time. The requirement is lifted if only one Spaceman is alive.

* AllYouBaseAreBelongToUs: The third stage of Story mode takes place aboard the ''Speaker'', as the Crumerians followed the Spacemen through the activated portal and begin to invade the Company ship. The Spacemen, Spokesperson, and Steve have to get to the bridge in order to make an emergency jump to get out of there.

* DestroyTheSecurityCamera: There are security cameras strewn about each of the maps that all players can use to see what might be going on elsewhere on the map. The Monster can destroy them to make it harder for the spacemen to track its movements; the Traitor can use the perks Red Alert (all cameras blocked until Traitor is killed) or Flasher (cameras that are flashed are destroyed) to disable cameras as well.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Spacemen who wantonly kill other Spacemen (unless the killed had been marked as "suspicious" either by actions caught on camera or being voted such at a tribunal) that turn out to ''not'' be the Monster or Traitor are marked as murderers. They forfeit 10 from their maximum health and oxygen meter, and the Monster will be able to see their location at all times.

* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler:Turns out to be the form of the CEO of The Company, appearing like a monstrous squid-like spacefaring being several times the size of planets and eats them like cookies. Thankfully, it's ultimately benevolent in its lone appearance at the very end of the story campaign as it consumes the Crumerian hive planet to clean it up and get rid of a major threat to the Company.]]

* ImposterExposingTest: The medical station, health syringes, and trip mines have the ability to detect whether the person in front of it detects alien parasites, i.e., is not human. This isn't foolproof, however -- medical stations and trip mines will also alert when used by humans that have been infected with parasites, and medical stations can further be fooled by a Monster using a detached limb to remotely trigger it when an innocent Spaceman is using it.

''Unfortunate Spacemen'' is an [[AsymmetricMultiplayer Asymmetric]] CoopMultiplayer SurvivalHorror game by Geoff Keene and Sandswept Studios, published by Creator/NewBloodInteractive.

A crew of spacemen are working on an outpost under "The Company" that is currently failing. They'll need to get off it as soon as possible if they want to live. However, complicating things is that one of the spacemen is an alien in disguise who wants to kill and eat them. You don't know who it is, so you'll need to be wary of who to trust until it shows itself.

Meanwhile, as the alien, your job is to make a meal out of the crew. Don't let one get away. Do what you can, and you'll have a full belly.

!!''Unfortunate Spacemen'' contains examples of:
* AsymmetricMultiplayer: A bunch of spacemen vs. a killer alien.
* BlindedByTheLight: Seeing a flashbang go off in your face turns your P.O.V. solid white. The alien can use this to shapeshift while everyone is impaired.
* ColorCodedMultiplayer: Each player is randomly assigned a different colour at the start of each match. That colour becomes how the players are identified.

* CoopMultiplayer: The spacemen all have the same goal: get out of the failing outpost alive.
* DestroyTheSecurityCamera: There are security cameras strewn about stages. The alien can destroy them to make it harder for the spacemen to track its movements.

* {{Homage}}: The Outpost 13 map is a recreation of the Antarctic base where the events of ''[[Film/TheThing1982 The Thing]]'' take place, including a kennel. (Thankfully, spacemen don't have to deal with infected dogs in this game.)

* SpaceStation: Two of the available maps are space stations up in orbit around planets. Definitely adds to the horror atmosphere when you're a spaceman trying to get off before the alien kills you.
* {{Shapeshifter}}: The alien can shift between human and alien form at will. In addition, it can take on the form of players that it has consumed.

* POVCam: All the players view the game from a first-person perspective.
* SpaceStation: One of the stages is a space station.
* {{Shapeshifter}}: The alien can shift between human and alien form at will. In addition, it can take on the form of players that it consumed.

* {{Shapeshifter}}: The alien can shift between human and alien form at will.
