Technically, yes. But should you play it that way? That’s another question.

Playing R.E.P.O. alone is like showing up to a group project and realizing you’re the only one who cares. Sure, you can go solo, but the game was built with co-op chaos in mind. With no AI teammates and no difficulty scaling, you’ll be relying on nothing but your wits, your physics-based grabbing tool, and sheer stubbornness. If that sounds like your idea of fun (or a personal challenge), here’s what you need to know about tackling R.E.P.O. as a singleplayer experience.

Can You Play R.E.P.O. Alone?

  • R.E.P.O. is designed for co-op, but you can play it solo.

  • There’s no AI teammates, so it’s just you, your physics-based grabbing tool, and whatever horrors are lurking in the dark.

  • The game doesn’t scale difficulty for solo play, so expect a lot of running, hiding, and regretting your life choices.

Is Solo Mode Worth It?

  • Pros: No teammates stealing your loot or setting off alarms.

  • Cons: No teammates to save you when things go sideways (which they will).

Verdict: Play solo if you like pain, or if you just want to practice before dragging your friends into the madness.

While R.E.P.O. is meant to be a chaotic multiplayer horror experience, brave (or stubborn) players can definitely try going it alone—just don’t be surprised when you start talking to the in-game objects for company.
