VML Studios has released Goo Deer 2.0, a substantial free update to its first-person horror management game on Steam, and the headline addition is online co-op for up to four players. Friends can now run a fog-bound gas station together, sharing a single store and a single wallet, before venturing out as a crew to hunt deer through a misty forest, all while something lurks in the dark beyond the treeline. The update launched on 31 October 2026, and to mark the occasion, Goo Deer is currently 34% off on Steam until 14 November.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Goo Deer drops players into a strange, foggy town with an obsession for one peculiar drink. The job is to keep the shelves stocked, set prices, work the register and serve a growing queue of customers, then step outside the safety of the station to gather the forest ingredients needed to keep production running. It is a blend of business management and survival horror that leans into atmosphere as much as mechanics.
The 2.0 update brings a considerable amount of new content alongside the co-op mode. The multiplayer suite includes Steam invites, a server browser, password-protected games, crew chat, shared items and ammo, the ability to revive fallen teammates, ten co-op achievements and a dedicated co-op leaderboard. A new shoplifter character can now wander in to steal stock, though players can hire a security guard to keep them in check. Store management tools have also been expanded, with shelf labels, stock limits for basement machines, and furniture that moves with its stock.
Beyond the new features, VML Studios has used the update to broaden the game’s accessibility in a significant way. Full translations into 24 new languages bring the total to 25 supported languages, making Goo Deer available to a much wider global audience. The update also includes a gentler difficulty curve at the start, automatic graphics settings, performance improvements and hundreds of bug fixes, suggesting the team has put real work into polishing the experience as well as expanding it.
Goo Deer is available on PC via Steam, where the current sale runs until 14 November 2026. For more information, keep an eye on VML Studios’ Steam page.
