Maia is a colony-building sim where you keep settlers alive on a hostile alien planet. You manage resources, construction and your colonists' needs inside a living, unpredictable simulation.

Hull Rupture

Lots of humour

A base-management tower-defense roguelite set aboard a spaceship, where you coldly treat humans as resources while fending off alien assaults. Dark humor and questionable decisions define the tone.

Stardeus

Sci-fi setting

As an immortal AI you rebuild a wrecked spaceship in a colony-sim style, automating production and deciding how to treat the human survivors. It blends base building, resource management and exploration in space.

The Spatials: Galactology

Sci-fi setting

A charming space-station management sim where you build rooms, manage crew and trade, and fend off alien civilizations. Active pause and mod support give it more depth than the original.

Oxygen Not Included

Lots of humour

A deep colony sim inside an asteroid where you keep your Duplicants alive by managing oxygen, heat, food and waste through interlocking physics-like systems. Spectacular failures are part of the fun, often with dark humor.

The Spatials

Sci-fi setting

You build and run a space station, designing rooms, keeping your crew and visitors happy, and exploring randomly generated star systems. Missions and real-time fights add variety to the management.

Everything is Peachy

Sci-fi setting

You lead a colony of peaceful, peach-powered robots across the galaxy, gathering resources at a quick pace and picking your route to a final showdown at the center. A small indie strategy game with roguelike structure and a playful tone.

RimWorld

Sci-fi setting

A colony sim where an AI storyteller turns raids, famines and your settlers' personal dramas into unique, often darkly funny emergent stories. Its deep simulation and per-colonist management make every run unpredictable.
