CyberHive

CyberHive is a space survival and narrative game in which you command the Melistar, or “The Star Bee,” a starship crewed by intelligent anthropomorphic bees. You gather resources, expand your crew, upgrade the ship and make difficult choices as you travel through a universe of hostile insectoid races. Your decisions influence the story, and you may uncover the mystery of the universe.

Command the Melistar

Your ship is your home. You manage its fighting ability to repel attacks, keep it on course and collect resources so the Queen and soldier bees have enough food. You also monitor the crew, whose members can get into trouble or cause it.

Navigate rival factions

The universe contains strange insectoid species and competing factions. The Merchant Guild fights the League of Smugglers; intelligent Ants compete with Locusts for space colonies; and the sinister cult of Blood Suckers spreads across the galaxy. You decide who to trade or fight and which groups to ally with, and those choices can change the story.

Survive and explore

In survival play, space cycles alternate, resources run out and the crew grows. Upgrading the ship and choosing your course carefully can help you survive for a time or try to break a record.

The branching storyline takes you to distant planets to explore and collect ancient artifacts and pieces of knowledge about the universe’s past and the misfortune it faces. You may be able to avert it.

Events aboard ship

Events include crew intrigues, passenger problems, a large contraband setup and a collision with the ghost of a legendary pirate starship. Some events form a story, while others occur randomly; the choices you make during them also matter.
