  • Open world
  • Cosy, great for unwinding
  • Sci-fi setting

A realistic space simulator and planetarium that lets you freely fly through a procedurally generated universe built on real astronomical catalogs, landing on planets and even traveling through time.

Exo One

Sci-fi setting

You pilot an alien craft that shifts shape and manipulates gravity, rolling, gliding and flying across strange planets. It focuses on momentum, atmosphere and discovery rather than combat.

Everything

Accessible and relaxed

This meditative sandbox lets you become any object in the universe, from animals to planets to galaxies, and drift freely through it all. Lectures by philosopher Alan Watts accompany a goal-free, contemplative journey.

Planet Crafter

Sci-fi setting

You terraform a hostile planet by gathering resources, building bases and machines, and watching a barren wasteland slowly gain atmosphere, water and life. The blend of calm survival and visible, large-scale progress is what makes it special.

Dyson Sphere Program

Sci-fi setting

A space factory-automation game where you build production chains across multiple planets and ultimately wrap a star in a Dyson sphere. The appeal lies in optimizing sprawling logistics networks on a galactic scale.

Euro Truck Simulator

Realistic visuals

The original truck simulation: haul freight in realistic European trucks between cities like London, Rome and Berlin, delivering on time. A calm, down-to-earth driving experience with no story or combat.

The Long Drive

Gameplay comes before story

You drive a car along an endless, procedurally generated empty road while managing fuel, repairs and supplies. Its appeal lies in the lonely, meditative atmosphere of crossing a vast landscape.
