A tense, atmospheric tower defense where you methodically build defenses against a creeping organic corruption in a desolate sci-fi colony.

What players say

Players praise the unique block-based tower construction and compare it to Creeper World, but opinions split on the timed day/night cycle some find it panic-inducing while others enjoy the frantic pace. The campaign runs roughly 8 hours with a steep difficulty spike in new game plus.
