About Soot
Soot is a strategy simulation game in which you play Laura McKenzie, a scientist trying to save her homeworld from an impending cataclysm. You learn to terraform planets by managing a delicate system of balances and counterbalances, completing objectives on each level and uncovering the secrets behind the coming disaster.
Story and mystery
An ancient encoded manuscript reaches Laura, revealing the lost technology of terraforming. As she reads it, she relives the experiences of Captain Cristopher Mason and discovers the history of The Federation, a powerful space-faring civilization that used advanced technology to terraform planets. The story follows conflicting interests and a complex political agenda as the technologies of two eras meet. It is told through in-level dialogue and 14 interactive comic book scenes.
Terraforming planets
Each level takes place on a different planet, with its own conditions and objectives. You solve problems through the simulation system and progress through increasingly challenging levels. The game includes 17 planets and over 20 structures.
Themes and setting
Soot uses a steampunk aesthetic for its science-fiction setting and explores how humanity influences the environment through technology.
