About This Demo

This demo is limited to 15 in game days, although you can restart as many times as you like. Mod support has been disabled as has a couple of the difficulty/game options. You will be tasked with building and preparing your ship to explore the cosmos whist ensuring your crew are kept alive and happy.

SpaceSlog is a challenging and unique spaceship and colony simulator that focuses on shipbuilding, crew interaction, and exploration. Inspired by games such as Rimworld, Starship Theory, Dwarf Fortress and X-COM, as well as iconic media such as Firefly, Stargate Universe and The Expanse.

Your colony ship is destroyed. Your mission has failed and with it, humanity's final hope is lost to the dark, cold void. But somewhere, deep within the universe, drifts a barely functioning life pod. Alone, hungry, and lost in space, you command a motley crew of ragged survivors. To survive, you must explore the cosmos and guide them to safety.

Some features of the demo:

Build your ship any way you please.

Whether you want to build a small but nimble ship with a small crew, or a large battleship with lots of crew, the choice is yours. Just ensure you have enough supplies to manage your crew and keep your ship functioning.

Careful consideration must be used when placing doors and your power systems in case of breaches or other hazards.

Explore a procedurally generated galaxy.

Each time you play, the game's incidents system will generate a different galaxy for you to explore. Whichever difficulty you choose will influence how this galaxy or events are generated.

Crew needs and moods.

The needs of your crew must be met in order to keep your ship fully functioning. An angry crew may rebel, decide not to work or give up completely. Ensure you have enough food and water to feed your crew. You must also choose your captain wisely.

Ship systems.

You will need to manage power and atmosphere effectively. Build generators and lay down cables to connect electricity to all your components. You will also need to build oxygen generators, ducting, and vents to ensure your ship has plenty of atmosphere for your crew's survival.

Combat.

Be careful of space creatures that may assault your crew.
