About the Game

Build. Grow. Survive.

In Orbit Engineer, you take command of your own space station. What begins as a modest outpost quickly becomes a complex, living ecosystem where every decision matters. Expand your station, manage critical systems, and guide your crew as they push the limits of human survival in space.

Your responsibilities go far beyond construction. You must carefully manage crew morale, assign daily tasks, and ensure supplies are delivered where they’re needed most. Science is your pathway to progress conduct research experiments to unlock new technologies and earn funding to keep your mission alive.

But space is unpredictable.

Unexpected events, system failures, and cosmic hazards will constantly challenge your planning. One moment your station is thriving, the next you may be fighting to keep oxygen flowing or stabilise failing power systems. Every crisis demands quick thinking and careful prioritisation.

Key Features:

  • Build and expand your own fully customisable space station

  • Manage crew motivation, needs, and performance

  • Research advanced science projects to unlock funding and upgrades

  • Organise supply chains and critical station logistics

  • Respond to unpredictable space events and emergencies

  • Balance survival, efficiency, and exploration in deep space

In Orbit Engineer, survival isn’t guaranteed. It’s engineered.

Keep your crew alive. Keep your station running. And above all… don’t let space win.
