Unrect

Unrect is a 2D sandbox game about building and expanding a colony in a vast open world. You gather essence, a life source scattered around the world, use it to create colonists and build them a home, then protect and develop your base as the colony grows. Colonists follow your orders, and you can assign them to work or keep them as companions.

Explore and gather

Explore mysterious areas and caves, find life capsules and hunt down enemy bases. You can collect essence in caves or by eliminating enemies that guard life resources. Essence can regenerate your health or create new colonists; life capsules also let you regenerate health, fast travel and improve your abilities.

Build and defend

Place blocks to build anything in the world, then customize and extend your base. Provide equipment for the colony, improve its members’ ability to survive, produce essence and increase their numbers. Plan the base’s layout and position your colony to withstand attacks, using turrets, traps, mines and other tools.

Command your colonists

Give orders in tactical slow-motion mode. Colonists can operate turrets and capsules that produce essence, or accompany you as you face enemies, including those guarding resources in dangerous caves. As they work, they gain skill points that can make them more productive, better at using turrets, stronger or faster.
