Keeping up with the Cardassians
Starmancer, the space station management sim where you build a sustainable habitat for potentially belligerent astronauts, has just been released into early access. As the AI in charge of the station, you build and decorate a station, and try to keep the humans happy and alive. You can also just toss them into space, but that’s the sort of action that won’t go unnoticed.

The station grows people and places stored personalities into new bodies, which means you have a large supply of disposable souls. With Rimworld andDwarf Fortressas inspirations, managing your vat-grown crew of humans is as important as putting the doors on the right way and connecting all the power systems. They have memories and needs. According to the devs: “Some colonists prefer eating nutrition bricks on the toilet, while others like to drink and socialize in the bar. Every game is different–your station and colonists will be unique to you.”
The station crafting looks imposing. You’re in charge of all the infrastructure and decorations, prepping for everyday usage and potential disasters. You’d better create back-up systems to ensure any blackouts don’t last. Decorations will play a role in morale, too. People walking around in a fog of sadness? Pop a motivational poster on the wall to inspire them. Maybe they’ll forget about the corpses piling up thanks to faulty life support.
It looks like a giant sandbox of rolling disasters, and it’s out nowon Steam.
