Seedship

Thoughtful, compelling game where you must choose a planet for a small band of human colonists to settle on. Your sensors scan planet after planet, delivering readouts on temperature, atmosphere, gravity, and etc. for you to consider. There is a poignancy to this game--your settlers are the last survivors of our species; the writing is simple but beautiful; pop-up events force you to make moral as well as material decisions--and you will find yourself coming back to it again and again. You can run micro-playthrough after micro-playthrough, or you can pursue a particularly long session--be aware that the game becomes harder the longer you play, as the ship becomes increasingly damaged (but also increasingly accurate, scanner-wise). You will need to brave a long playthrough to find a true second Earth! Five stars. No microtransactions. No internet connection needed. Deceptively simple, but deep and affecting.

Good SciFi Story Game With Alot Potential If you’re interested in a story based game in a sci-fi space travel setting then this is worth a check out and a try I’d say. Whole premise of the game is basically you’re the AI Captain of a human colony ship looking for a habitual planet but with that said the journey won’t be easy. The decisions that need to made are thought provoking and are overall well done in that respect but playing overtime I felt it can get a little repetitive. The various planets descriptions though are really good in my opinion and quite detailed so that you can have a good image in your mind of the places as you play and I think that’s really cool. I hope they can add more to the game as it seems once you choose a planet it’s practically over and you need to start again I would personally prefer the game to continue on after landing and continue to make more choices for the colonists but it’s not really like that sadly /: Overall the game is a fun journey through space and the descriptions are very detailed and well made through out and I find it really engaging and fun to play through but I just hope they add more life to the game after you choose to land perhaps later on :) I’m going to give it a 4/5 Stars. Thanks for reading.

I really have to give the developer props for this game. The text-based gameplay is very simple, but there’s an element of strategy and even morals when making tough decisions; for example, do you let some of your colonists die, or do you let your scanners/databases malfunction? There’s a huge amount of scenarios, and no playthrough is ever the same. It’s especially entertaining when you finally decide to land on a planet, and you get to read what happens after your colonists wake up and begin settling. As a bonus, this game is totally free, and (as far as I can tell) there are no advertisements or in-app purchases, other than a donation button. Thanks for making a quality game without monetizing the hell out of it, I think I just might hit that donation button ;)

There are 3 one star reviews, one that calls for voice-over, one that says there's not consequences, and one that says it's a disappointment, the last two are wrong, I downloaded this game looking for something small to fill time when I was bored and without internet, and I was not disappointed at all! And no consequences? That's a straight up lie, they must've not played for very long if they've never had a negative game happen, I've had a few, either my colony gets enslaved or wiped out from natural causes entirely. It is pretty hard to die in space though, I've never had it happen. And as far as voice over goes, that kinda true, but I don't know how hard that would be to implement...

This well-designed game takes you on a journey of finding the best Earth-like planet, making trade-offs after each planet’s visit on what aspect of the ship gets damaged - the scanners?, scientific knowledge?, Landing gear? Letting passengers die? You also get an opportunity do upgrade your scanners every few hops, making it easier to find the best planet, but risking the lives of last remaining humans after each visit. Great game, and I want more games like this. I especially give the developer props for not monetizing and having no ads. This game is also playable on a browser.
