Use the developer-linked LFG route
The developers published a pinned Steam notice linking to a looking-for-group Discord for players who need a party. Check the current pinned post rather than trusting an old invite copied elsewhere.
When posting, include your region, language, available time, and preferred group size. Do not share private account or payment information.
Invite friends or play locally
Steam friends can form an online group, while v2.0 couch co-op lets people in one room join through Local mode.
The developers said public matchmaking and lobby lists were outside their original in-game plan. Recheck official announcements before assuming that status has changed.
