## What it is
Barotrauma is a 2D online multiplayer survival game set in a submarine traveling the icy ocean beneath Jupiter's moon Europa, with source code publicly available under a restrictive EULA. It supports up to 16-player co-op, single-player with AI crew, and extensive built-in modding tools integrated with Steam Workshop.

## Use cases
- play a co-op submarine survival game with friends
- host a dedicated multiplayer server for Barotrauma
- create mods using the submarine and character editors
- contribute code or report bugs to an open game project
- play a single-player campaign managing an AI crew
- build custom submarines and share them on Steam Workshop

## When to choose
- you want a multiplayer co-op survival game with deep crew role gameplay
- you want a highly moddable game with integrated editor tools and Workshop support
- you want to study or contribute to the source of a commercial MonoGame/C# game

## When to avoid
- you want to redistribute or run the game standalone - the EULA forbids distributing playable copies without a Steam purchase
- you need a permissively licensed codebase for reuse in your own projects
- you want a finished open-source engine rather than a game with a custom EULA
