About This Game

Interact with strange new worlds in a unique and tactile way, molding the environment itself as if it were clay in your hands. Build your base, master resource management, automate your production lines, and more as you unravel the mysteries of the universe, alone or with friends.

In this game, you can…

  • …build a ramp from a mountain up through the atmosphere until you're literally in space, with the planet rotating under you.
  • …activate alien gateways that teleport you to a planet's center, then solve a system-wide chain that ends above the star.
  • …sculpt terrain into actual architecture: wall off your base, add a lip to catch debris, then roof the whole thing with engineered entrances.
