Physics-based co-op chaos
R.E.P.O. is the strongest physics match in the frozen set because its official premise explicitly centers fully physics-based objects handled by a team.

Five released Steam comparisons
R.E.P.O., Lethal Company, Content Warning, Supermarket Together, and Fast Food Simulator all offer documented co-op or multiplayer task chaos on Steam.
They are comparable by store descriptions and tags, not by hands-on testing against the unreleased Emergency Buddies.
Comparison table
Developer, mechanic, players, platform, and status
| Game | Developer | Shared mechanic | Players | Platform | Status on frozen page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R.E.P.O. | semiwork | Physics-based co-op object handling | Up to 6 | PC (Steam) | Released · Feb 26, 2025 |
| Lethal Company | Zeekerss | Co-op scavenging under pressure | Online Co-op; exact count not frozen | PC (Steam) | Released · Oct 24, 2023 |
| Content Warning | Zorro, Wilnyl, Philip, thePetHen, Skog | Co-op exploration and comic failure | Online Co-op; exact count not frozen | PC (Steam) | Released · Apr 1, 2024 |
| Supermarket Together | DeadDevsTellNoLies | Co-op simulation task overload | Online Co-op; exact count not frozen | PC (Steam) | Released · Aug 9, 2024 |
| Fast Food Simulator | No Ceiling Games | Chaotic co-op service work | Up to 6 | PC (Steam) | Released · Dec 11, 2024 |
“Exact count not frozen” is an intentional empty-state label. It avoids turning a generic Online Co-op field into an invented player maximum.
Why these games are comparable
Physics, coordination, and jobs going wrong
Pressure plus communication
Lethal Company and Content Warning pair shared objectives with danger and comic failure, while Supermarket Together and Fast Food Simulator turn ordinary jobs into multiplayer coordination pressure.
“Friendslop” is used here as a bounded discovery label for messy, social co-op experiences. It is not presented as an official Emergency Buddies genre or a quality judgment.
Evidence boundary
Reviewed August 13, 2026. The table is source-mapped to frozen Steam pages summarized in the project’s competitor comparison. Developers, platform, store date/status, and player labels come from those records. Shared-mechanic wording is a bounded classification from official premises and tags—not hands-on play.

FAQ
Which alternative is closest?
For physics teamwork
Start with R.E.P.O.; its frozen Steam premise explicitly mentions physics-based objects and up to six players.
For chaotic job simulation
Fast Food Simulator or Supermarket Together are the closer workplace-simulation comparisons in this five-game set.
Are these ambulance games?
No. They are compared for co-op coordination, physics, task pressure, or comic failure. The table does not claim they share Emergency Buddies’ medical setting.
