In the meantime, Once Human is also now available to wishlist on Steam. If you are a sandbox survival game fan, you won’t want to miss out!

Once Human is an upcoming sandbox survival game in the New Weird genre, featuring a striking art style and plenty of aberrant monsters to test players’ mettle.
