Short description
Bring a forgotten solar system to life in this serene space simulator. Pilot your ship to gather tech, resolve story-rich incidents, and upgrade planets to watch your civilization thrive.
About this game
ORBITAL is a 2D space sim where you are the sole pioneer tasked with a hopeful mission: to explore a forgotten solar system and build a thriving interstellar civilization. It’s a game about discovery, decision-making, and watching worlds flourish under your guidance—all at your own relaxed pace. Lead Your People Each planet you settle is a new story waiting to be told. Your primary goal is to grow your total population, but growth is tied directly to Happiness . When your people are happy, your civilization thrives. When they aren’t, you’ll need to intervene. The heart of the game lies in the text-based Incidents —a mechanic our early playtesters fell in love with. From resource shortages to cultural festivals to strange stellar phenomena, you will constantly be asked to make decisions. Your choices are not just flavor; they have a direct impact on the happiness of your people and the destiny of your planets. Explore and Expand Your journey is one of endless discovery. Harvest Resources : Pilot your rocket to collect valuable Tech from asteroid fields. Build Your Future : Spend Tech on a hierarchy of Planet Upgrades to boost happiness, automate production, and unlock new possibilities. Uncover Secrets : Discover hidden Shipwrecks and complete multi-stage Expeditions to find rare resources and uncover the lore of the solar system. Are you really alone? Upgrade Your Ride : Invest in your rocket to improve its capabilities or repair it after a tough expedition. A Journey, Not a Race I wanted to create a game that felt like a cozy blanket, not a frantic rush. In ORBITAL, there is: No timer to stress you out. No combat to interrupt your flow. No way to lose . It’s just you, your ship, and a galaxy of potential. Whether you have 15 minutes or 3 hours, you can make meaningful progress, explore at your leisure, and build something you’re proud of. So, are you ready to launch? The galaxy is waiting.
