description


Try to survive and perhaps eventually even tame an unknown planet in this incremental semi-idle game.

Inspired by Increlution, though if you've played that game, please be aware that the looping mechanic in this doesn't start unless/until you reach a certain point. So you do have to do some planning to make sure you survive long enough first time around.

This project is currently in early access, with a prologue and two chapters of the story available. I aim to release major content updates at least once every 2 months.

Bugfixes & Minor Additions v0.3.1.0 March 23, 2025

Changes

  • Remove Power Cell now available in Talos after repairing power systems (and discovering rover power)
  • Unique death message if you lie in your pod after waking up
  • Reduced base time for inspecting the dam control booth
  • Added combined action for driving to the lost rover, getting supplies and driving back.
  • Added alt logs for reaching the dam on time/too late and with/without the codes
  • Added an alt death message if you die at the dam after being too late
  • Added alt 'rover out of power' log if you run out while trying to find the Talos-Dam route
  • 'Gather Supplies From Outside' action is now hidden if you already manually left and collected them
  • Added an 'Inspect Rover Charger' action to Talos after you discover rover power

Fixes

  • Parking in Talos now only requires either finding the tunnel or discovering rover power, not both
  • Resource hover tips no longer say 'lasts forever' when the resource is full but draining (went into negative but immediately paused)
  • Fixed potential crash when loading saves in a certain format
  • Typos

Playing in a window, the whole row from 'Personal Resources' is cut off at the top and there's no way to scroll up to it. I'd love to try the game, but I shouldn't have to go full-screen to play it.

Many of the American vs Britain spelling in it: Synthesise vs Synthesize, Vaporise vs Vaporize, Colour vs Color, Favorite vs Favourite, Flavor vs Flavour, etc. I'm Canadian and get used mostly to American spelling. Because of what I find I think the dev, ShadowSand is british. You should add a toggle in setting to switch American vs British spelling.(Pretty minor feature, but good to add if you want to make it a 3A title)

I am finding this kinda frustrating, too much repetition. I am travelling towards Santorini but when I get two rocky travels in a row it gets a bit too samey.

Just a slight bug found: Why while discharging rover, the rover is still charged?

I have couple of group tasks that don't start last task in group. "Gather supplies from outside" and "Gather supplies from lost rover".

This is REALLY good. Consider me sufficiently interested. First time I've commented on galaxy and I've been playing more or less daily for months. Great little flavor blurbs; a couple of interesting thought sections as a player; intrigue into the artifact and story as a whole; enjoyment in the system of gameplay and although no real interest in possible future combat, I would still do it with a smile while also loving even more of this king of gameplay evolved through new ideas in future chapters. I really hope you continue with this project. Thank you so much.

Cool game, I can't wait to see it get updated.

Looking forward to more! I enjoyed the story telling aspects, and the non-linear loops, I know in Increlution you could just choose to skip some things, but I like that you just don't even have those things to skip.

I did find one bug though,

Another weird issue, in Laurion, i installed a water recycler into the rover, which destroyed the rover's ability to make water bottles? WTF?

Wonderful! Only thing would be to have a text size option. On 4k the text is super tiny.
