Outerstellar, a captivating sci-fi survival PvP game developed by Strange Horizons. Players find themselves stranded on a hostile and enigmatic planet, where survival is a relentless challenge. In this unforgiving world, they must gather resources, build shelter, and fight to survive each night, all while uncovering the planet’s hidden secrets.
Inspired by modern survival games, Outerstellar delivers a “survival lite” experience that emphasizes multiplayer action within a richly intriguing sci-fi world. Initially conceptualized as a top-down game, the developers found that the exploration and combat mechanics flourished in a third-person perspective.
Strange Horizons, a team comprising of industry veterans and exceptional graduate talent, demonstrates that a small team can harbor grand ambitions. The release of Outerstellar in Early Access is just the beginning, with even more exciting developments planned for the future.
