Into the Stars

Into the Stars is an open-world space survival simulation about leading humanity’s last Ark ship, the Ark 13, in search of a new home. The Skorn have attacked the planet every six months for 10 years, and few people remain to defend it. The other Ark ships built to escape the attacks are gone, leaving you as Captain of the final vessel and in charge of a hand-picked but inexperienced crew.

The journey

You explore a massive star system, outfit your ship and choose your crew as you guide the Endurance Coalition’s civilians toward a possible new home. You scavenge resources, shelter civilians and try to survive a hostile alien force by outrunning or outgunning it. The system contains 90 zones, each with its own opportunities and challenges, and you choose your course through them. Difficulty settings let you adjust the intensity of the enemy threat and the pace of the journey.

Ship combat

Combat is based on volleys. During alien encounters, you choose target points, battle stations and which crew members to assign, while facing enemies that will not negotiate.

Decisions and replayability

Your decisions as Captain and the randomly generated obstacles your crew encounters can affect mission outcomes, creating a different experience each time you play. The game also features an original score by Jack Wall.
