How it feels

A tense, systemic survival sim about managing fragile relationships and physics while piecing together a broken ship on a mysterious, desolate world.

What players say

Players harshly compare Adaptory to Oxygen Not Included, calling it an unfinished clone that crashes often and lets colonists die for no reason. Pawns ignore oxygen and walk into danger, research is done in under two hours, and the air pressure mechanic is broken. A few hopeful players say it might improve with time.
