Press release:
WARSAW, POLAND – AUGUST 29, 2024.
The Warsaw-based (Poland) indie games developer Space Goblin Studio today announced with great joy and thrill that their cozy open-world survival/exploration adventure”ASTROBOTANICA“, is coming to PC via Steam EA in 2025.
Space Goblin Studio, a newly established developer with AAA credentials, is proud to announce their debut title, ASTROBOTANICA, concocting a unique blend of survival, exploration, and… plant wizardry. Set to launch in Steam Early Access in 2025, this lush open-world survival adventure transports players to prehistoric Earth, where an alien botanist crash-lands while searching for plant species to save their dying home planet, Aya.
ASTROBOTANICA is set 300,000 years ago during Earth’s Pleistocene era, where players assume the role of Xel, a highly intelligent alien botanist from the distant constellation of Viridiana. Facing the slow demise of their habitat due to irresponsible technological adoption, Xel embarks on a solo mission to find planets with rich flora. However, the mission takes an unexpected turn when Xel’s spaceship crashes on Earth, leaving them to survive in a hostile environment with a CO2-deficient atmosphere.
Via cultivation, research and experimentation, players must find plant species that could thrive on Aya while focusing on immediate survival amidst the wild animals and primal humans of the Pleistocene epoch.For a comprehensive list of key features, visit ASTROBOTANICA’s official Steam page. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2720920/ASTROBOTANICA/
