Starwisp Hyperdrive is in early access - you might encounter bugs, and sections still being completed. Let us know in the Steam forums or our discord server about bugs and feedback! To check out what other features are coming soon, see the early access section above.
You've inherited a spaceship! But there's one or two teeny tiny little problems.... It's a bit of a fixer upper. It has a bad reputation. Government agents seem to take a strange interest. Also, it appears to be haunted. Aside from that, it's your cozy new home!
Starwisp Hyperdrive is a space RPG adventure that's more about the journey than the destination.
- Choose your destination! Hopefully you have enough fuel to get where you want to go.
- If not you might want to visit a trader... before you leave port, of course.
- Name and create your character.
- Travel through space and explore the system.
- Take on jobs at various spaceports.
- Fix your ship and try not to die alone in space.
- Grow alien plants in the botany room.
- Experience space depression!
- Fly to asteroids and mine stuff.
- Conduct inadvisable experiments.
- Bond with your robot buddies. As in, you can bond... but the robot is an unfeeling machine.
- Fix your broken machine parts and robots! Or scrap them, if you want. You monster.
- Rearrange your cargo bay.
- Talk to random space weirdos.
