About This Game

GCS: Salvage Rat is a gritty, first-person space sim with permadeath and immersive salvage contracts. Explore a procedurally generated universe of hostile factions, dangerous asteroid fields, and derelict stations. Pilot a fully customizable ship, mine valuable resources, fight for control, and descend into abandoned hulks on foot in tense FPS missions. There are no second chances — your legacy is all that remains.

Whether you're hunting bounties, stripping wrecks for data, or trading across star systems, every decision matters in this brutal, single-player sci-fi experience.
