Oxygen Not Included

97% 👍 OF 142K
About This Game

Oxygen Not Included is a space-colony simulation game. Deep inside an alien space rock your industrious crew will need to master science, overcome strange new lifeforms, and harness incredible space tech to survive, and possibly, thrive.

In this game, you can…

  • …see gases behave like real layers, with oxygen drifting, carbon dioxide sinking, and rooms turning into live pressure puzzles.
  • …build a closed-loop bathroom where toilets flush into a tank, sewage gets treated, and the whole colony runs on recycled waste.
  • …turn a steam vent, a cold biome, or a magma lake into an engine: melt ice by accident, boil sewage into steam on purpose, and pull clean water back out.
