The Astrolarix

The Astrolarix is an isometric adventure with survival elements, set aboard a solitary starship drifting through space. You gather supplies, avoid hazards and solve riddles as you progress through a linear story. There is no combat system; you evade obstacles and find ways to escape certain areas.

Survive aboard the ship

Keep your water, food, oxygen and health at safe levels. Search containers and devices aboard the ship for supplies and useful items, and manage its finite resources carefully. You move through maps with a maze-like layout, learning the ship’s areas to find your way in the dark.

Story and challenges

The story is told through narrative scenes and documents found at the end. You can choose Normal, Difficult or Expert difficulty. On a first attempt, the game takes an average of 3 to 5 hours on Normal, depending on your skill; the title menu displays your best time for speedruns. After finishing the story and unlocking the documents, you can replay on a higher difficulty, where resources are scarcer and enemies deal more damage.

Survival mini-game

Progress through the story to unlock Survival, a mini-game in which you dodge asteroids and try to beat your previous record. Doing so can earn something useful for the main campaign.
