This alpha preview allows you to experience the early game through a tutorial, featuring scientist Lu on her quest to conquer her second planet and advance her research. Encounter pirates, build your city, engage with characters Niassah and Theomius, and enjoy intense battles on land and in space! We created this demo to involve players as early as possible. Please note that many features shown on our Steam page aren’t available in the demo but will be included in the final version as we continue development.
