Take a seat
Each player joins with their own keyboard and mouse and takes a spot on the screen. Pick a layout that fits your players.
Playing with several keyboards and mice? Press End once everything is in place to give each window its own cursor.
Launch and connect
Press Launch: Nucleus opens one copy of DUSK per player and lays the windows out on your screen. Then link them in game, usually one player hosts a LAN or online session and the others join it. The handler notes say how.

Handler notes

A small handler to help you frag your friends in Duskworld, the multiplayer mode to Dusk.

Duskworld.exe is in the files beside Dusk.exe. It's just not listed in Steam as a separate game.

No controller support, as it isn't in Duskworld from what I can tell.

It DOES seem to work with online multiplayer, so you and a buddy can frag your other buddy across the globe.
