About the Game

WELCOME TO THE BELT

Welcome to The Belt, a scattered streak of asteroids in the dusty depths of space.

RESTORE CONNECTIONS

Play as Luna, a young engineer with a daunting responsibility: maintaining an internet connection for the people of the Belt as the Drift pulls ever harder on the place they call home. Drive across drifted asteroids in your truck, repairing rusted radio towers and other crumbling infrastructure in an attempt to keep people connected.

FIND YOUR PLACE

Return home to your ship after each job, exploring the space and connecting with the rest of your crew. Meet a colourful cast of characters and uncover a gently woven story about finding human connection in a slowly unravelling world.

Features:

  • A heartfelt narrative about human connection

  • Light puzzle-platforming elements

  • Strange, lonely landscapes to enjoy from your truck

  • Around 5 hours of gameplay

  • A feline first mate 🐱

  • Dreamy soundtrack by Laryssa Okada (Manifold Garden, Dorfromantik, Last Time I Saw You)
