Quantum Derelict

Quantum Derelict is a story-driven survival horror game with roguelite elements. You play as the engineer stranded alone aboard a damaged spaceship that leaps unpredictably across the cosmos. Gather resources, repair the ship and search for intelligent extraterrestrial life that might help you return to Earth.

Survive aboard the ship

Manage the ship’s systems and your own health as you look for rescue. Scientific drones serve as resource gatherers: send them to mine space debris and salvage derelict ships at each point in space. You can also recode them to repair weapons, maintain life support, upgrade communications and handle other crucial tasks. Craft new drones for your inventory and recharge those with low batteries.

Use resources found in the ships’ computer to code and upgrade drone software, unlocking abilities that help you survive. Ada, the ship’s artificial intelligence, guides you as you reach out into space for help. Your personal journal records events, including information Ada uncovers in the ship’s mainframe, and serves as a support for your mental wellbeing. It may also bear witness to your ordeal if the journey ends in disaster.

Face the horrors

Sinister entities track and hunt you in the interstellar darkness. Evade them or fight back with the ship’s turret systems and a quantum pulse that defeats enemy ships. You must also contend with the cult of VUGSHERYOG and the horrors that follow it, while trying to maintain your sanity.

The story follows your struggle to find a way home and grapple with the alien horrors along the way. You mine, salvage, repair the spacecraft and try to endure long enough to tell your tale.
