Ostranauts

About

You're the captain of a scrap heap floating through a lawless solar system. Ostranauts tasks you with cobbling together a spaceship from whatever you can scavenge then keeping it running while avoiding the constant threat of debt collectors and empty fuel tanks. Customization matters every hull upgrade engine tweak and cargo hold expansion impacts survival. Negotiate deals take risky contracts and manage limited resources as you navigate a universe where trust is scarce and every decision carries weight. The game leans into its gritty setting with detailed systems for ship maintenance trade routes and character skills. Set in the same universe as NEO Scavenger it expands on that worlds bleak charm with spacefaring twists. Players appreciate the depth of its systems and the constant tension of balancing expenses against unpredictable dangers. With a 78% approval rating on Steam its a survival sim that feels both harsh and stylish.
