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 the mysteries of the first four islands, implemented in full. This includes the planned key features, delivered in final quality: farming, exploration, survival and decoration. The islands thus provide for 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 relaxed survival set on open-world prehistoric Earth. You are a highly educated extra-terrestrial named Xel, who crashed the spaceship when traversing the galaxy looking for precious seeds to bring them back home and feed your species. Now you have the chance to find varieties which would thrive on your planet, but first, you need to focus on surviving in the challenging Pleistocene environment of Earth, inhabited by wild animals and primal humans.

As alien botanist, you are well prepared to grow and process plants into food and medicine. But first you'll have to learn how to properly take care of the unknown Earthly vegetation species, and how to make the best use of them. As your adventure unfolds, you'll also meet Neanderthals, and will have to learn to communicate to earn their trust. At least air is clean and pristine in the prehistoric times, but as you do not breathe oxygen, you'll have to figure out how to fulfill respiratory needs.

KEY FEATURES OF ASTROBOTANICA™



  • Cultivate barren soil. Mix muck and mire with compost, mark out plant beds, supply water, and protect your breeding from hungry birds and nosy rodents.
  • Secure supplies of crucial carbon dioxide. Figure out and secure the supply of CO2 derived from plants, required for your alien breathing.
  • Customize your character and surroundings. Eventually, make yourself at home. Decorate the nearest surroundings the way you like; build, arrange, organize. As your settlement will grow over time, some smart planning upfront will save you headaches later. Make sure you also look good and always on the occasion.
  • Experiment with potions. Learn to mix plant-sourced ingredients with water to come up with various potions. Test them to reveal the effect on you, others, and the environment. Build and expand your arsenal and be prepared for any scenario.
  • Enjoy exploring the whereabouts. Prepare for extensive exploration as you wander through beautiful surroundings, uncovering hidden places and solving intriguing mysteries. Keep an eye on the foliage, as it may conceal rare and fascinating plants crucial for your research.
  • Be smart in avoiding unfriendly animals. Don't face local creatures head-on unless you really want to. Rather, outsmart them using the terrain, and, utilizing the powers of your potions such as cloaking clouds, sticky goo, sleeping gas, or the ability to paralyze, among tens of others.
  • Meet and interact with Neanderthals. Break the ice with the local population of primal humans, and learn the basics of their language to communicate. Heal their ailments using custom-crafted potions and tonics, specialized for each disease or discomfort. Earn their trust and respect to receive tools and building materials as gratitude.
  • Master your character via the P.R.I.M.A.L. system. Make the game your own by managing progression and shaping your in-game personality via the innovative character development system based on six key branches for alien scientists: Planetary Knowledge, Research, Investigation, Management, Adaptation and Learning. Form and navigate your unique path by leveraging your habits and obsessions into mastering the game challenges in your personal way.
