Void Bastards is a heavily stylised and simplistic take on the rogue-lite genre of games, taking place aboard a busted spaceship, amongst others, that needs to be repaired in order to escape the nebula.

In order to understand the initial difficulty with this achievement, we must first answer, what is a rogue-lite? A rogue-lite game is similar to that of a rogue-like, except you don’t lose all progression upon dying, you may keep some money, skill points but in the case of Void Bastards, you keep your inventory and your character is re-rolled for different positives and negatives.

Now, Off The Hook requires you to escape the nebula (complete a run of the game) on hard, without dying a single time. Often times this is a horrible process for an achievement, sometimes it’s quite manageable if you can plan out your routes and paths throughout the game.

In Void Bastards, I’d say it’s somewhere in between; luckily, the AI isn’t too crazy but you also have to bear in mind that so much of the game is randomised, meaning you’ll have to get very familiar with items, mechanics and the overall gameplay loop of the game before you cross this one off the list.
