How it feels

A cold, systematic colony sim where you build supply chains to feed corporate profit demands while fortifying against threats.

What players say

Players describe it as a chill resource management game with tower defense waves at night. Some find it too simple or idle-like, with a steep penalty for running out of money that the game doesn't explain well. Development is active and the game is playable but still in early access.
