STARHOME

An upbeat city building, factory game about exploring a galaxy, with a humorous 1960s sci-fi twist.

Starhome is a city builder, at its core, but mixes in strong elements of exploration, light factory building and narrative.   It has a wacky, original trek vibe and leans towards cozier gameplay, without being vapid.

If you enjoyed resource-focused city builders, like Pharoah, Tropico, Frostpunk or Surviving Mars, Starhome may have something to offer you.  If you are a fan of the Star Control series, you'll find a familiar feel.  If you love exploration and are tired of fighting in games, Starhome is made for you.

Here's some things our playtesters have said about early builds of Starhome:
 

  • “Love the freedom to address problems how you want”

  • “There’s always something to do, which feels good.”

  • “I liked that you have solutions to bottlenecks from different angles.”

  • “I liked the moment where the game first asks me to build real infrastructure.  That was exciting”

  • “I love that running out of food isn’t game over.   I like recovering.”

  • “The writing is fun.  I want to scan more to get more dialogs.”

  • “The scarcity and challenge of running out is cool.  It felt like tension without being stressful.”

  • “I am enjoying the puzzle of building all the space structures and placing them so they have access to everything.”
