About these games

Subnautica 2

Subnautica 2 is an underwater survival adventure from Unknown Worlds, set on an entirely new alien world. It is built as a single-player experience that can optionally be played online with up to three friends, choosing from four pre-designed characters. Players build and customize bases, craft tools, explore biomes in the Tadpole submersible and scan the local biodiversity, from the smallest creatures to towering Leviathans. Something goes awry as the colony ship CICADA carries the player and fellow Pioneers toward their new home; the ship’s AI insists the mission continue, and the player is stranded on a planet where surviving and uncovering its mysteries are up to them.

The Last Caretaker

The Last Caretaker is a first-person survival-crafting adventure set on a drowned world, where the player awakens as the last active Caretaker, a machine built for one purpose: save humanity. Over the ocean covering the ruins, they scavenge, dismantle wreckage and recycle materials into tools, weapons, power networks and modules, restoring the Lazarus Complex. They recover human seeds, manage their growth, restore memory data and prepare them for launch into orbit, while holding off rogue machines and keeping their equipment in repair. The story is uncovered through places, logs and memories.

Loddlenaut

Players take on the role of an interstellar custodian sent to clean up the polluted ocean planet GUP-14, abandoned by GUPPI, a mega-corporation. With a bubble gun they gather trash and goop, explore sunken corporate buildings, ships and machinery, and unlock gadgets for other kinds of pollution. Recovered junk can be recycled into items and upgrades. In the waters they meet axolotl-like loddles, shelter them from pollution and feed them aquatic fruits — diet shapes how they grow and which abilities they gain — then release them back into the wild once the water is cleaner.

Retreat To Enen

Retreat to Enen is a base-building and survival game in which you live off the land in balance with nature rather than fighting for prosperity. On the island of Enen, spread across three vast biomes, you forage, hunt, craft and build a home from over 50 unlockable modules. Along the way you can find ancient ruins and meditation points offering breathing exercises. The story is set in the 37th century, after centuries of war and climate crisis, when humanity turned toward healing and reverence for nature.

The Planet Crafter

The Planet Crafter is a survival open-world terraforming and crafting game for 1 to 10 players. You are sent to an inhospitable planet and must make it habitable: gather resources, craft tools and machines, build your base, and raise heat, oxygen and pressure. Over time, first life forms such as moss and insects appear, followed by thick forests and animals. You can explore old shipwrecks and ruins, play alone or in online co-op, and adjust the difficulty level.

Ankora: Lost Days

Ankora: Lost Days is a single-player survival adventure centred on exploration and crafting. Mûn, a rookie Junior Ranger of the Interstellar Patrol, crashes on the unexplored planet Ankora and must craft tools, gather resources and overcome rivers, mountains and monsters. A hammer builds, a shovel reshapes the terrain and a bow defends; she roams biomes from deserts to snowy peaks, levelling up and learning recipes. Rain, freezing cold and blazing heat test her, nights are dangerous, and the visuals draw on Studio Ghibli films such as Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
