In "Gaia Trek", you will play as Gaia, the shattered will of a planet, and command your spaceship to explore new worlds, collect and refine various resources, build a home on the damaged spacecraft, summon a wide range of monsters, and ultimately, devour other shattered wills to repair yourself.

Gaia Trek features seven distinctive races and over 50 unique creatures to collect. As an advanced planet's will, you can create your own personalized creature by mixing any two individuals together. With over 400 possible combinations, the possibilities are endless!


Each race has developed its own unique civilization based on their biological traits. The Photosynthesis grows from seedlings, the Chimera reproduces through mating, the Caveworm reveres their Swarm Queen, the Auto-Machine relies on energy production, the Elemen originates from the elements of everything, the Emotion coexists with the mood swings of their organisms, while the Protoss manifests from devout beliefs. With over 50 unique functional buildings that cater to the needs of each civilization.


In the Gaia Trek galaxy, you won't just experience basic planting, logging, mining, refining and building. You'll also encounter emotions manifesting, elemental entities and machine creatures. Dispatch your monsters to explore the varied terrain and collect hundreds of resource cards hidden throughout the universe to boost your chances of victory.


Running your own civilization can be a daunting task. You'll need to balance producing units, constructing buildings, exploring maps, and defending against attacks. From the moment you touch down on the planet, you're in a race against time. The fate of your civilization is in your hands. Are you up for the challenge?
