The Ship Has Left Earth — Dead Reckoning: The Long Drift is on Steam!

Dead Reckoning: The Long Drift is a slow-burn colony ship management sim about the journey to a new world — and everything that goes wrong along the way.

You don't control individual colonists. You set policy. You make decisions. You watch the consequences compound across generations.

What the game is:

• Turn-based yearly decisions across a multi-generational voyage

• 1,000 colonists in cryo, 300 named, all mortal

• Five drift paths — Genetic, Ideological, AI Takeover, Regression, Class Stratification — that slowly corrupt your UI and close off options

• A faction system that emerges from your choices, not a menu

• 17 distinct endings, each with a full illustrated epilogue, as well as numerous dynamic endings

• CRT pixel art aesthetic with a dark ambient score

Launches May 29.
