Little-Known Galaxy

Little-Known Galaxy is a single-player space RPG about joining Space Alliance as a captain-in-training. With your quirky crew, you investigate an ancient relic found on the Grey Planet, explore distant planets, and build a home aboard your ship. Along the way, you develop your leadership skills and rise through the captain ranks.

Your ship and crew

You begin with a close-knit crew of 20 and can meet more people during your journey. Build relationships through daily dialogue, gifts, story cinematics and mission objectives. As your bonds grow, your ship’s community can feel more like home.

Customize your living quarters, deck and even the ship’s outer hull with machines, decorations, furniture, wall patterns, floor textures and paths. Expand your living space and arrange it for resource production, crops or both. A workbench lets you craft machines and decorations; you can also farm aboard the ship and cook recipes in an upgraded kitchen.

You can befriend, date and marry one of 10 single crew members, each with a distinct backstory and personal likes and dislikes. To propose, you must win their affection and upgrade to a larger home. Potential spouses include androids, aliens and genetic clones. You can also hatch and raise Xeno, small aliens that need care, attention and food as they grow.

Restore and explore

Your Restoration Ray cleans up small messes, while upgrades from the Machine Shop help repair broken or vacant areas of the ship. These upgrades unlock features and crew opportunities and help rebuild the ship’s community.

Travel to distant, undiscovered planets to explore and gather resources for crafting machines, upgrading tools and completing missions. Each planet has wild alien lifeforms that may be hostile; you can use your Laser Blaster to zap them.

Research and collections

Good, Bad, Neutral and Wild microbes live aboard your ship. Use the Microbe Detector to collect them for research, crafting or sale for credits, and try to find all the microbes in the ship’s microbiome.

On other planets, you can find artifacts and gems and help Hermy, an exploration hermit crab, complete the museum’s Gem, Artifact and Microbe collections.

Captain ranks

Your progress toward becoming a full-fledged Space Alliance captain depends on mission objectives, crew morale, ship improvements, resource production and Microbe Research. Each promotion brings credit bonuses and new machines, decorations or customizable pieces.

Character and music

Customize your character with hairstyles, color palettes, accessories and hats. The game also has an original soundtrack composed by Dale North.
