Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe the best games are built alongside their players. Early Access allows us to expand, refine, and enhance the game based on real feedback from the community. This phase gives us the opportunity to collaborate with players, improve gameplay balance, and introduce new ideas that will shape The Last Caretaker into the best version possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for at least 12 months. The timeline will depend on development progress and player feedback. Our priority is to build a polished and immersive experience, and we’ll take the time needed to ensure it reaches its full potential.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The core mechanics and structure are already in place, but Early Access will help refine and expand the game. With player feedback, we plan to:
  • Expand gameplay systems (exploration, crafting, survival, combat)
  • Introduce new content (locations, enemy types, modules)
  • Balance and optimize core mechanics based on community insights.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already offers a fully playable survival experience with a strong foundation. Players can explore, craft, fight, and progress through the game’s world.

Key Features at Early Access Launch

  • Weapons & Resource Management – Your resources are your weapons. Rifles, flamethrowers, and electricity-based weaponry are merely tools—you decide how to deploy destruction. Every bullet, every charge, every fuel cell matters. Should you incinerate the enemy or conserve gasoline for your ship? Is electricity best used to power a system or fire a lethal arc? The choice is yours.

  • World & Locations – A vast open-ocean world filled with abandoned megastructures, rusted sea platforms, fuel depots, and long-forgotten navigation beacons. But beyond survival, there are places of deeper meaning—the Hall of Humanity, where the last human seeds await rebirth, and the Lazarus Complex, a nearly sacred structure where life is meant to begin again.

  • Crafting & Recycling – The world is your salvage yard. Dismantle abandoned structures, tear down technology, and decide what is worth carrying to the recycler. Should you melt down an old power core for resources, or keep it for a critical repair? Craft, restore, and repurpose technology to shape your survival.

  • Enemies & Threats – A range of enemy types with unique behaviors, including flying, crawling, swimming, and spawning adversaries.

While the core mechanics are solid, we’re also testing potential new features that could shape the game’s evolution. We’re eager to see how players engage with the world and adjust our roadmap accordingly.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“As we add new content and features, we may increase the price after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We see The Last Caretaker as a game built with players, not just for them. We’re actively engaging with our community on Discord and Steam forums, where players can share ideas, report bugs, and help shape the game’s future. Your feedback matters, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts as we build this world together.”

About This Game

A first-person survival action-adventure where you sail, scavenge, and rebuild in an endless ocean world. Recover lost technology, craft vital systems, and ensure humanity’s future—before it’s too late.

You are the Last Caretaker, a lone machine reawakened after centuries of silence. The Earth is flooded, its towering megastructures rusting under an endless sky. The Seed Vaults remain, containing the last human seeds—waiting to be born. Your mission is clear: recover the seeds, reactivate the Lazarus Complex, and launch the last of humanity to the stars.

But the world is not as empty as it seems. Machines still whisper old protocols, relics of the past still move with purpose, and your every step brings you closer to uncovering the meaning of your existence.

NURTURE HUMANS

Care for and grow human seeds within the Lazarus Complex, managing crucial systems like incubation temperature, nutrient flow, and memory data integration. Unlock advanced biopods and synthetic caretakers to accelerate development and ensure successful revival. Discover emotional imprints and past memories encoded in each seed, piecing together lost human stories as you bring life back into the world.

PROTECT HUMANS

Defend the Lazarus Complex from rogue machines and environmental threats. Build automated defenses, upgrade your mobile platform, and deploy countermeasures during storms and system breaches. Safeguard the vulnerable human seeds and ensure the sanctuary remains operational while under siege. Strategic choices in protection systems can determine the fate of the last generation of humans.

LAUNCH ROCKETS INTO ORBIT

Restore and reactivate the ancient MOSES launch infrastructure to send reborn humans beyond the drowning world. Scavenge for launch codes, refine fuel, and rebuild navigation AI systems to ensure mission success. Each launch is a calculated risk—but a necessary one to preserve the species. Watch your nurtured humans ascend into orbit, carrying with them the hopes of a renewed humanity.
