How it feels

A sprawling, idiosyncratic grand strategy game where you slowly command alien civilizations through a lens of outsider art and UFO lore.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a scam and warn of a developer who bans critics, while others praise the old-school 4x scope and promise, calling it a Stellaris-like with real-time battles. Most agree the UI is janky and many features feel unfinished, but the core loop has a 'one more turn' appeal.
