Press release:
London, UK – 14 June 2021.
Ominux Games and Chucklefish today announced their space station sim title “Starmancer” will launch on Steam Early Access on August 5th, 2021.

Check out the chaos and customization of Starmancer in the Early Access Release Date Trailer (E3 2021) trailer here.

In Starmancer players build their own space station, taking on the role of the station A.I. tasked with sustaining human life, regrowing bodies for the thousands of minds trapped in your memory banks and defending the station at any cost.

Starmancer offers gameplay with consequences, a living sandbox environment, crafting, and managing the daily lives of colonists. Create a fully functional space station that supports a utopian society where everyone is well fed, happy, and safe under the watchful eye of a benevolent A.I.

Or go rogue and watch what happens when space zombies invade, or a crazed crew mutiny occurs. A colonist can only witness so many friends being sucked out of air locks before they snap. No one knows what motivates a crazy colonist; they’re simultaneously responsible for the greatest technological innovations and messiest homicidal rampages. The station doors have locks for a reason.

Starmancer features:

A huge, customizable space station, with hundreds of design options
Manage the lives of dozens of colonists aboard the station
Interact with a dynamically generated solar system and its alien inhabitants
Take on special missions and be rewarded with unique loot and materials
A constantly evolving world where every action has a consequence
Modding support

Starmancer will be available on Steam Early Access on 5 August for £16.99 / $19.99 / €19.99.
