Crying Suns

About

Crying Suns casts you as a cloned admiral commanding a battered fleet across a fractured galaxy. You manage resources, upgrade ships, and make tactical decisions in turn-based combat as you navigate collapsing star systems. Each run blends strategic fleet management with roguelike unpredictability, failed missions mean losing progress but uncovering fragments of the Empire’s collapse. Exploration and dialogue choices shape encounters with surviving factions while figuring out why the OMNIs, once humanity’s caretakers, went silent. The game’s slow-burn narrative and grim atmosphere stand out, balancing dry humor with existential stakes. Inspired by classic sci-fi sagas, its blend of strategy and storytelling feels fresh despite familiar themes. With versions on PC, consoles, and mobile, it caters to both deep sessions and on-the-go play. Alt Shift’s design emphasizes tense tradeoffs, every decision risks your crew, your ship, or the fragile hope of restarting the OMNIs before humanity fades.

Storyline

After 700 years of peace and prosperity, the Galactic Empire has suddenly been shattered into pieces. The OMNIs, god-like machines which did everything for their human masters, have mysteriously shut down. And humankind, having long since lost the ability to survive on its own, is dangerously close to extinction. But somewhere in a far corner of the Galaxy is Gehenna, a planet of ice and rock and a top-secret facility that is the pinnacle of Imperial Tech and also humanity’s last chance. You are a clone of Admiral Ellys Idaho, a weapon fashioned from flesh, the best Imperial Admiral ever to battle in the stars and you have just been awoken on this planet by its strange and darkly-humorous Guardian, Kaliban, the last functional OMNI to exist. Your mission: skillfully command a battleship through the Empire's now chaotic, violent clusters ––where one wrong move could be your last–– as you try to reactivate the OMNIs and save the future of all humankind. But you must leave Gehenna now.... for time has almost run out.
