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 want to invite you to make ASTROBOTANICA™ remarkable, innovative and exciting, together. The studio have put in all their passion, experience and hard work, and want to invite gamers to participate both in fine tuning, and, in designing the game's further development and evolution. By listening to the community, we'll be able to make the game the best it can be.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently estimate one to two years to grow the game and mature into a standalone product, involving co-op. Due to involving the community in the creative process, we allow that plans can evolve in new directions once we start receiving feedback. Our key plan will remain to deliver frequent updates and communicate every important step towards releasing the game at the moment of mutual consensus that it is "ready".”

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

“The full version is planned to feature remarkably expanded locations and environments, increased variety of plants and living creatures, and vastly expanded single player storyline. It will also include co-op play among the main features. The studio plan to continue the development via DLCs and updates afterwards, keeping in touch with the community for as long as they will stay excited and engaged in ASTROBOTANICA™.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game in its current state welcomes you to explore a fully developed island, complete with all planned key features delivered at final quality: farming, exploration, survival, and decoration. The island thus provides a complete gameplay experience in near-finished quality, with systems, challenges and mechanics implemented.”

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

“The EA price will be naturally available for a limited time. Once the game is released as finished, the price will reflect the scale and contents at that stage, and it will certainly be marked up for new buyers. Owners of the Early Access version will move to the Final Version without additional cost.”

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

“Our dev Team is available to interact with the gaming community on the Steam forums and on our Discord. We absolutely hunger for direct discussion and exchange of ideas whilst working on expanding and evolving the game. With your contribution ASTROBOTANICA™ can become so much more.”

About This Game

ASTROBOTANICA™ is a science-driven survival game set on a prehistoric Earth. You’re Xel, a highly educated alien botanist, on a mission to discover rare seeds needed to save the home planet. After crashing on ancient Earth, you’ll find yourself surrounded by wild animals, primal humans and toxic atmosphere, so will have to adapt quickly and figure out how to survive.

🌱 GROW TO BREATHE… AND SURVIVE

Your knowledge of alien botany will be your best weapon. You’ll learn how to grow and process Earth’s unfamiliar flora into food and medicine. Experimenting, adaptation and research will be key to finding plant species which could thrive on your home planet. But for now, you have to discover and cultivate essential herbage to secure the stable supply of carbon dioxide you need to breathe.

🧍 MEET THE LOCALS

Neanderthals are curious, but timid. Learn to communicate, earn their trust, and cure their  ailments using hand-crafted potions made from plants. Heal their wounds and illnesses, and they might just reward you with tools, supplies and a helping hand.

🏠 BUILD A HOME, MAKE IT YOURS

Build walls, floors, and fences to protect your property and crops from natural disasters and hungry wildlife. Collect and manage resources to expand your shelter, turning it from a fragile dwelling into a fully-fledged abode.

🪐 EXPLORE THE MYSTERIOUS WORLD

Wander through beautifully untamed wilderness, filled with secrets to uncover and a wide variety of plants to study. Observation is key - there’s always something new to discover if you look closely. But stay alert! The local fauna is as cute as dangerous, while invariably hungry.

🧬 MASTER THE P.R.I.M.A.L. SYSTEM

Shape your playstyle through six unique skill paths: Planetary Knowledge, Research, Investigation, Management, Adaptation, and Learning. Assigning Knowledge Points according to your habits, talents and preferences will define your progression.
