Landing in Early Access on PC via Steam this October 2022, Stranded: Alien Dawn challenges you to build and manage a camp small group of survivors who have crash-landed on a beautiful but dangerous alien world. Instruct them to gather food and resources, build shelters and perimeters, and protect themselves from hostile alien wildlife, all while managing their phyiscal and mental needs. Forge your story through compelling and immersive strategic gameplay as you make vital decisions to protect your survivors. Get ready to experience an epic and unpredictable journey.

How far will you go to survive?

Watch the announce trailer below, and continue reading to learn more:


AN UNFORGIVING WORLD

Stranded: Alien Dawn pushes you and your survivors to the brink. Limited resources, unpredictable weather, illness and hostile alien creatures make it hard to establish a foothold on an unforgiving world. The next challenge is never far away, requiring construction of an increasingly robust base using advanced resources and improved defences.

STRANDED SURVIVORS

Ensure your group’s physical and mental wellbeing by providing weapons, medicine, and much-needed entertainment. Every survivor has a unique backstory, varying levels of ability in key skills, and both positive and negative traits. Only by improving their skills and maximising their potential will you survive.

AN UNPREDICTABLE JOURNEY

In Stranded: Alien Dawn, every playthrough is unique. Experience a journey driven by random story events, alien wildlife threats and adverse weather. There will be setbacks; devise your own innovative solutions to problems and manage multiple crises at the same time. However, actions have consequences and as you strive to plan ahead, you must make difficult choices to shape the story of your survivors, balancing short and long-term outcomes with risk and reward.

MODULAR BASE-BUILDING

Design and build your base on an alien world and transform it from simple shelter to high-tech outpost. Protect it with perimeter defences, decorate it with furnishings, introduce automated devices such as defensive turrets, and discover new technology to create your own functioning space pad.

Stranded: Alien Dawn is coming to Steam Early Access in October 2022. We have a lot more to share in the coming weeks, so join us on our Discord, and don't forget to also follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

"Some" more info here:

Surviving Mars - it lacked some final thing. Once the initial shortcomings were mastered there wasn't much left to master. The limited set of maps was a bit disappointing, too.
Great atmo, though and I still regard the soundtrack as exceptional - even though I am totally not a devout listener to that type of music. But it set the tone and theme of the game and kinda shaped it's very nature, imo. The outcome was an extremely chill builder-survival that was a bit too chill, but then it was the Red Planet and who wouldn't want to chill under a blue sky on red rock?
Hmm, now I wonder if there is a red planet mod for Rimworld...

OK, I'm intrigued with the "small group" of survivors. It's what makes ONI and Rimworld so dear to me -the "RPG"-aspect. You have some peeps and they suffer and prosper according to your designs or misdesigns. It gives the thing a touch of story.
The curated story-lines of Surviving Mars where kinda good, it gave the game some life-blood. Characters with traits - that would be something interesting.
