About the Game

Deep Space Observatory is a calm incremental game about exploring space and developing an automated observatory. Scan the star map, study anomalies, collect scientific data, and unlock upgrades that change the pace and strategy of your run.

At first, you explore the map manually: hover over glowing objects, collect data, and place observation platforms. Later, new types of objects appear, your scanning radius expands, and auto-scanners become available.

Upgrade your observatory.

Use the skill tree to grow your own research network: speed up data collection, create data chains, and gradually turn manual scanning into an automated system.

Restart with an advantage.

In prestige mode, your current run ends, but your unique discovery cards stay with you. Use them in the next run to change your strategy and progress in a new way.

What’s in the game

  • A star map with scientific data as a resource to explore and collect

  • A skill tree for upgrading your observatory

  • Prestige mode and a permanent collection of scientific discovery cards
