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?

“I'm building Astral mainly solo, and its worlds, monsters, and systems are designed to grow over time. Early Access lets players get involved while that happens - community feedback will directly shape new content, balance, and priorities, and the game will be better for being built with its players rather than in isolation.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 18 to 32 months. The exact timing may shift as new worlds, monsters, and features come together with community feedback, but that is my best estimate for reaching the full release.”

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

“The full version aims to expand on Early Access with more worlds, monsters, and mechanics, more in-game shops and arcade machines, plus deeper content and polish guided by player feedback. Specifics will firm up as development continues.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A fleshed-out, playable co-op horror featuring multiple explorable planets, a range of monsters, an arcade with gambling, and online co-op with proximity voice chat.”

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

“I plan to gradually raise the price as major content updates ship, so the full version will likely cost more than the Early Access version. Any price change will be announced clearly in advance.”

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

“Player feedback drives Astral's direction - I'll gather input through Steam discussions and playtests, and use it to shape features, balance, and priorities.

About This Game

The factories are silent. Their workers are long gone. Astral Inc. sends you where no one else will go: abandoned facilities scattered across forgotten worlds. Restore what can be saved, meet your quota, and make it home alive. Out there, every shift is a gamble.

You're not here to strip the place bare - you're here to bring it back to life. Rebuild shattered walls, restore power, repair broken machinery and clear away years of neglect. The more of the facility you recover, the greater the reward.

Every contract drops you into a different abandoned world, with its own layout, hazards and forgotten history. Frozen complexes, buried facilities, scorched industrial sites and stranger places still wait beyond the edge of the charts. Every shift demands a new plan.

Made quota? Risk it. Spend your credits in the Astral Arcade - a space-themed gambling hall where rare gear and cosmetics can be won for less than the shop... or lost in seconds.

The dark is full of things that don't play by the rules. Some mimic voices. Some follow you for an entire shift without revealing themselves. Some only become dangerous once you've noticed them. Learning how they hunt is the difference between making quota and becoming part of the facility.

Between shifts you live aboard the Orbital Station. Kit out a loadout from the holographic stock terminal, decorate your own personal quarters with arcade winnings, and gather in the atrium to watch the killcam TV replay exactly how the last run went so horribly wrong.

Nothing stays under control for long. Power can fail without warning, doors can trap crews inside, fires spread, flooded sectors cut off escape routes, and loose equipment becomes a hazard of its own. As everything falls apart, panic spreads just as quickly - and sometimes your biggest threat is the person standing beside you.

Every abandoned facility has a story. Forgotten notes, damaged terminals and the things left behind offer glimpses of the people who lived and worked there. Piece together what happened - or ignore the warnings and keep chasing the quota.

Drop in with up to four players in online co-op, native on Windows, Linux and macOS, with cross-platform multiplayer and Steam Workshop support so the community can build the galaxy out further.

Note: The description features may (completely) change with the game's development.

AI Generated Content Disclosure
