About the Game

SARIS INDUSTRIES IS HIRING

The job is simple. Head out to the wrecks, strip anything of value, and haul it back.

THE JOB

DustCrow is a space salvage sim built around zero-gravity physics. You are a contractor for SARIS Industries tasked with salvaging wrecks in space with a wide variety of industrial tools to drive a profit for a corporation that doesn't care if you make it back alive.

STRIP THE WRECKS

Interact with different structures with tactile tools, cut solar panels free from their mounts, hack locks with decoding tools, set breaching charges to crack open ore and blow through hulls, then haul the scrap back through a weightless cargo run.

BOARD ABANDONED STATIONS

The wrecks are not just open-space debris. Dock with derelict stations and venture inside. Interiors are pressurised, so be careful with the airlocks, and the stations lack power so it can get very dark and disorientating. Blast open a sealed compartment or crack a pressurised airlock door, and the air rushes out, taking loose gear and you, with it.

WORK A LIVING ECONOMY

Your haul is only worth what the market will pay. DustCrow runs a live, player-driven

economy where the prices move in real time with what every other contractor is bringing

in. Flood the market and watch its price drop, or hold your stock and wait for a

shortage. Knowing when to sell is half the job.

EARN YOUR CLEARANCE

Take weekly contracts from SARIS and hit your daily quotas, and climb the ranks. Unlock better tools, and reach further, more dangerous sectors. You can also fully tune your booster loadout to fly the way you want.

It is just you, your tools, and the vast emptiness of space.
