PowerCorp
A hard sci-fi survival sim where each decision costs power. Every system drains your dying reactor. Pilot a crippled spacecraft across a real-scale solar system using true orbital mechanics, manage critical systems, and fight to reach Earth — where space itself is the only enemy you need.

10 itemsAbout the Game
PowerCorp is a realistic space survival simulation where power is life — and you're running out of both.
Stranded in a damaged spacecraft between Jupiter and Earth, every system you activate, every course correction you make, every moment you stay alive drains your crippled reactor. There are no arcade physics. No convenient refueling. Just you, the cold mathematics of orbital mechanics, and a solar system that doesn't care if you make it home.
Power Is Everything
Every action has a cost. Running life support, firing thrusters, even checking your instruments — it all drains from a reactor that's never going to be enough. Prioritize. Sacrifice. Survive.
Key features
True Orbital Mechanics
Navigate a real-scale solar system using actual Kepler physics. Execute gravity assists, and feel the weight of every miscalculated burn. The void doesn't forgive bad math.
Pilot or Command
Fly your ship directly with Newtonian physics — drift, thrust, rotate — or manage systems through an immersive terminal interface. Thread asteroid fields. Execute precision docking. Every maneuver matters.
Systems Under Pressure
Life support. Propulsion. Power distribution. When emergencies hit, you'll juggle failing systems, make brutal tradeoffs, and learn that sometimes saving one thing means losing another.A Mystery Written in Silence
Something happened in the solar system while you slept. Piece together the truth on your long journey home — if you survive long enough to learn it.No Two Journeys Are the Same
Procedural elements ensure each playthrough offers different challenges, encounters, and choices — while the core mystery remains for you to unravel.
The Sun is a distant star. Earth is months away. Your power is failing.
Every decision costs something. Every mistake could be your last.
How far will you go to get home?
