Overview

In a world where Earth has collapsed into chaos, the remnants of humanity thrive in a capitalist dystopia. As a spaceship owner and captain, you’ll navigate the harsh realities of survival and management in this intricate and immersive simulation.
Gameplay
Create your captain and use your career’s spoils to build or restore a functional spaceship. Manage your ship and crew while balancing fuel, food, finances, and the ever-present threat of debt collectors. Each decision affects your survival and the well-being of your motley crew.
Detailed Custom Ship Design
Design your ship from scratch using modular parts that interact with each other and wear out over time. Customize every aspect of your vessel to fit your needs and play style. The physical properties of each part and their interaction with one another play a critical role in your ship’s functionality.
Systems Management
Ostranauts offers a complex simulation with numerous interdependent systems. Players must oversee supplies, manage emotions, maintain power grids, handle finances, ensure security, and address social dynamics to keep their enterprise afloat. The challenge lies in managing both the literal and figurative aspects of your ship’s survival.
Crew AI
Each crew member operates with a dynamic AI that makes decisions based on their needs and experiences. Crew members will seek out others who can fulfill their emotional and physiological needs, such as comfort or security, based on their interactions and past behavior.
