It’s day “who knows we’ve lost count” of the captain’s log as Ostranauts takes off into Early Access on PC. From progressive indie publisher Modern Wolf and NEO Scavenger developer Blue Bottle Games, the noir spaceship-life sim Ostranauts is now available on Steam now with -20% off for launch week for £12.39/ 13,49€ / $14.99 (Full undiscounted game price: £15.49/ 16,79€ / $19.99).
Ostranauts is a noir spaceship-life sim, where the player controls the story. Starting out as a spaceship captain, players have to carefully hire a crew before attempting to survive in the savage world of a ravaged solar system. The game challenges players to design a one-of-a-kind spaceship, manage their rag-tag crew’s physical and emotional needs, whilst keeping their junker of a ship from falling apart. If that wasn’t enough, there is always the looming threat of bankruptcy lingering over everyone’s heads, as well as fending off a whole host of chaotic problems that could be just around the corner…
