How it feels
A slow-burn sci-fi strategy experience with classic RTS base-building and resource management, set against a backdrop of corporate ruthlessness and space exploration.

What players say
Players call this a short but fun indie RTS from a solo developer, heavily inspired by StarCraft. They praise the heat-based building system and note it has difficulty spikes, even on easy. Reviews split on whether it lacks variety for replays.
