Maia

Sci-fi setting

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.

Particle Fleet: Emergence

Gameplay comes before story

A real-time strategy game where you design fleets of partially destructible, self-repairing ships and face the Particulate. Battles run on a large-scale particle physics simulation rather than scripted logic.

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.

Oxygen Not Included

A party of several characters

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.

Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal

Linear, curated structure

A real-time strategy game where you push back a spreading fluid menace called the Creeper using defensive towers and terraforming. Huge maps and scripting tools make it a demanding, puzzle-like challenge for tacticians.

Symmetry

A party of several characters

You lead a stranded research crew on a frozen alien planet, balancing resources, morale and the mental health of the survivors. It's a bleak survival management game with a story focus and tough decisions under pressure.

Tin Can

Linear, curated structure

You play an untrained technician stuck in a cramped escape pod, learning its systems through manuals and trial and error to stay alive in space. The appeal is tense, claustrophobic problem-solving under pressure.
