About This Game

Starnded: Gardens of the Rubellite is a first-person survival RPG on an alien world where there are no guns, and every encounter is decided by movement, timing, and survival skill.

Before disaster struck, Earth’s nations launched one last desperate mission: send thousands of capable people to a habitable world. With the old systems collapsing, survival became the only currency. Those who built the colony ships, cryopods, and life-support systems earned a single reward - a frozen ticket to a new world.

Your cryopod opens the moment you start the game.

First survivors have built various safe zones and camps. But Sara-376c is not as pretty as they were promised - it is far more dangerous than they initially thought.

Rubellite Gardens is a vibrant wilderness filled with pink vegetation, alien wildlife, abandoned survivor camps, mysterious structures, and the remains of those who arrived before you.

Forget the usual survival formula. There are no guns on Sara-376c.

Every encounter rewards movement, positioning, timing, and experience instead of whoever fires the first shot.

Build a base to protect your loot and secure your progress.

Claim resource-rich territory for convenience, or build deep in the forest where only a few survivors will think to look.

Play alone, form alliances, trade, raid, or betray others when the opportunity arises.

Every encounter can change your story.
