Nether is a first-person multiplayer survival game for Windows.[2] It was developed by American studio Phosphor Games, and was first available on October 29, 2013.[citation needed] Nether became popular in late 2013, when many YouTubers such as Markiplier were uploading videos of them playing the game. Nether has often been compared to other similar sandbox survival games such as 7 Days to Die and Rust, and contained early Extraction Shooter genre features, such as 'safe zone' hubs to safely extract the loot acquired in session into 'stashes'.
