About This Game


Hey there, stranger.
Welcome to the edge of the galaxy.

It's the 25th century. Now, any lucky bastard can make a fortune out on the Frontier. And the unlucky ones? They end up in a pirate cargo hold… or inside the belly of some local beast. Build up a team together — no one survives alone out here. Get yourself some decent gear. Explore new planets. And hope someone pays you in time for that freshly scouted route, a rare alien plant, or somebody else’s dirty little secret.

Name’s Jay. I took a job hauling shady cargo for that lunatic Alice. Thought it’d be a twenty-minute gig. Turned out I stepped into a mess the size of a whole sector.
Now I’ve got a crystal to deal with before troubles chew off my leg.

Oh, and by the way — I’m you.

CODE RED
BUILD
TACTICS:We trimmed some random nonsense out of X-COM and mixed it with some Final Fantasy flair. More strategy, less coin-flipping.
Every map is procedurally generated and reacts to what you did before, so battles stay fresh and challenging.
FEED THE ADRENALINE:Take hits, fall back, miss a shot and build up adrenaline. When it’s full, unleash a game-changing strike.

CODE GREEN
BE THE FIRST TO LAND:
The Frontier is huge. Explore worlds no one’s touched before. Grab loot, credits, and rare chances.
LEVEL UP AND SURVIVE:Upgrade your team. Find new gear. Keep your rustbucket of a ship flying with scrap and luck. Out here, high-end tech is scarce, but a smart merc always finds a way.

CODE BLUE
ANSWER THE CALLS:Jay wants to live. Johnson wants glory. And the crystal symbiont? No one knows what it wants. Pick your allies and enemies wisely. Your choices uncover the deepest secrets of the sector and shape its fate.
CHANGE THE WORLD:For fifteen years we’ve been building the world of Frontier by our hand’s — with our players at the helm.
Now it’s your turn to write your name into the stars.

CODE WHITEWhat the hell do all these colors mean?

Wishlist now and meet us on the Frontier in early 2026!
