Taxinaut

Taxinaut is a space taxi and life simulation game with RPG systems. You play a working-class astronaut carrying fares across the open-world Kyprei-41 galaxy, flying between planets and through space. You can land at bars, diners, garages and other common or exotic locations, then talk to locals for directions or information about the galaxy’s esoteric and often clandestine sides.

Explore Kyprei-41

Fly over alien cities and landscapes, ascend from a planet into space, then fly or warp to another planet and descend there without loading screens or teleporting. The galaxy contains over 100,000 star systems, with planets and stations to explore. Its setting combines science fiction and fantasy in a grimy world.

Stories and progression

An optional main storyline takes over 30 hours, and four secondary storylines are also available. You can modify your clone with gongs, an RPG-like skill system, and use foods, drinks and drugs for effects such as skill buffs.

Unlock equipment and other items to buy at your home, and modify your ship to receive free items each time you sleep. Weapons and other items let you deal with hostile ships, individuals and creatures.

Controls and music

The game can be controlled entirely with a mouse, without a keyboard, or with a controller using a specially made focus system. Its real-time-with-pause controls let you pause with a mouse click, choose a weapon and target, then click again to resume and see what happens. The game includes 13 music tracks, an optional integrated tutorial, a manual and over 20 short explanatory videos.

Modding

Taxinaut supports modding with Java, for players who know the language or are willing to learn it.
