Companions
The Man and his crew
Steam’s short description puts you with the Ordinary Man and an immortal Chicken. The about-text adds Babe as an identity question and an AI living inside the spacesuit. A 2023 Q&A promised voices for Babe and crew. An official Mechanic trailer presents a foul-mouthed customisable robot. There are no loyalty meters, gift tables or fabricated romance routes on this page. Manage your crew is store phrasing. The five records are the Man, Chicken, Babe, spacesuit AI and Mechanic. That roster is smaller than a dating-sim wiki on purpose. Steam did not publish likes, gifts or jealousy meters. Look after the Chicken, wonder who Babe is, and listen for the suit.
| Name | Role | Note |
|---|---|---|
| The Man | Player protagonist / captain | Silent-leaning lead; Steam and news still call him the Man. VO catch phrases were promised in 2023 Q&A. |
| Chicken | Immortal companion | Store short description and header key art both feature the chicken as a named companion the player must look after. |
| Babe | Named companion / open story question | Steam about-text leaves Who is Babe? unanswered. The 2023 posts promised VO for her as an early hire, not a mute extra. |
| Spacesuit AI | Companion living in the suit | Steam about-text: the Man and an AI in the spacesuit derailed the Corporation and became Coffinbot target number one. |
| The Mechanic | Crew specialist introduced in a character trailer | Official Mechanic character trailer (FGS / GameTrailers syndication of a RedRuins/HypeTrain piece) presents a foul-mouthed customisable robot mechanic. Treat trailer framing as first-party character marketing, not a full stat block. |
The Man
English short copy calls him the Ordinary Man. Steam and news posts still say the Man. He is the player protagonist and captain of this mess. The 2023 Q&A promised VO catch phrases; live store audio is English and Russian only. He and the suit AI derailed a Coffinbot takeover and became target number one.
Key art puts a bearded astronaut in an orange-white suit with helmet lights and a white chicken on his shoulder. That painting is the page-bg still. It is character marketing, not a skill tree. Look after the Chicken, scavenge, and do not expect a silent-protag rule to survive if more VO lands in a later update.
Key art captions call him a bearded astronaut in an orange-white suit. Orange gloves in the EVA still match that suit language. VO catch phrases were a 2023 promise; live audio is English and Russian. If a later patch adds more voiced barks, News will date it. Until then he is the Ordinary Man you steer.
The immortal Chicken
The store short description names an immortal Chicken as the companion you look after. Header key art shows the chicken airborne next to the Man. The painted page background parks it on his shoulder. Immortality here is a marketing fact, not a documented revive mechanic with cooldowns.
There is no feed schedule, no named breed, no Steam entity id beyond the word Chicken. Treat it as a crew member you are told to protect. If a patch adds chicken gameplay with numbers, it will be news first.
Immortal is the adjective Steam chose. Header Out Now art shows the bird in the air beside a tool burst. Page background parks it on the shoulder. Neither still is a care-minigame screenshot. Protect the chicken because the short description told you to, not because a hunger bar was published.
Section chicken on /crew/ stays bound to that first-party record and the media id listed for this route, with no invented extra stats.
Who is Babe?
Steam’s about-text asks Who is Babe? and leaves the question open. The 2023 Q&A said Babe will have a voice as an early team member. An official screenshot shows a blonde crew member in a clear helmet and orange-white suit seated on quilted orange benches inside a wood-trimmed shuttle cabin. That still is bound to this route and home.
Do not invent a last name, faction rank or romance flag. Babe is a named companion and an open story question. The glossary repeats the same first-party line so searchers hitting Babe land on official copy instead of a leaked script.
Who is Babe? is the on-page phrase for the glossary and a supporting query here. The cabin still is the only official face. 2023 said early team member with a voice. Live store audio languages do not prove her lines are in the 31 August build. Wait for a news post before you log VO files.
Spacesuit AI and The Mechanic
The about-text says an AI living inside the spacesuit helped the Man derail the Corporation. That is the companion in the helmet, not a mobile app. No personality menu was published. The Mechanic character trailer — a RedRuins/HypeTrain piece syndicated through FGS and GameTrailers — presents a foul-mouthed customisable robot mechanic. Trailer framing is first-party marketing, not a stat block.
Manage your crew is store language, not a spreadsheet. The five named roles on this page are the full first-party roster: the Man, Chicken, Babe, spacesuit AI, Mechanic. Anyone else you meet in The Outskirts is an NPC the FAQ says exists, without a published name list.
Customisable robot mechanic is trailer language. Foul-mouthed is the tone the trailer sold. IGN’s game hub exists as an editorial echo, not as a parts list for that robot. Suit AI has no portrait still in the sealed media set, so this page does not fake one.
