About the Game

You're the first pioneer to hit the surface of a barren, alien world - a desolate expanse as far as the eye can see. Your job is simple: Take your Space-RV, power up your multipurpose tech gauntlet, and use whatever seeds found in the cargo to start a new life on this world. Over time, you'll make the planet life-sustaining for yourself and dozens of future colonists. But until then, it's going to be one lonely outpost...

  • Plan your colonist’s farming adventures. Will you explore? Plant? Craft? FIsh? Build a close-knit community? Or all of them at once?

  • Fill out the Omninac by experiencing life on the new planet. Categorize crops, minerals, seasons, animals, and more!

  • Terraform the desert with a trusty robotic pet. Fertilize the ground, secure water sources, and make the air breathable.

  • Harness sustainable energy to power your colony, using a variety of sources like solar and wind power to fuel your farm.  

  • Experiment with gene-splicing to create new and unique crops

  • Farm, mine, explore, and carve out a habitat for humanity.

  • Build your colony from the ground up. Your loneliness will be over once you can attract some colonists - but that is just the beginning!

  • Discover a robust menu of meals to cook - you can't explore a new world on an empty stomach!

  • Use your drones to catch a plethora of fish and bugs that inhabit the planet—uncover them to fill out your collection!

  • Raise livestock, whether traditional or robotic, and adopt wildlife creatures as pets.

  • Usher in a new dawn for humanity, building a genuine off-world utopia for your colonists.

  • Connect with your newfound community, cultivate relationships, and who knows, maybe even find love among the pioneers?

  • And just as important as the future, delve into the past of the old world. Just what lies hidden beneath this ancient planet's surface...?
