About the Game

This game is an indie, passion-project single-player survival RTS game designed to put the player's species on a foreign and hostile land, and let the player lead them from humble beginnings to an eventual complete exploitation of an unknown world.

You will have to find said planet to populate. Though, you should be wary of the space anomalies occupying specific planets and solar systems. After descending to a planet's surface, your objective becomes to find a way to brave this new world, teeming with alien life.

  • Gather resources like wood, stone and food. Eventually, you might even find a way to refine them into something more precious?

  • Explore different biomes, lead expeditions into ruins or even wilder parts of the planet!

  • Build, develop and expand your colony to prosper.

Are you ready to lead your species to new frontiers?
