Stranded on an uncharted alien world with a broken ship and no rescue coming. Scan the wildlife, uncover the truth behind abandoned human outposts, and build the technology you need to escape, before this planet becomes your grave.
Survivance
SteamThe crash wasn't supposed to happen. But it did. Now you're alone on a world that has never seen a human before — and it's already watching you.
Survivance is an open world survival game set on an alien planet teeming with life, danger, and secrets left behind by those who came before. Gather resources, craft equipment, and piece together what happened here. Your ship is fixable. Getting home is possible. But this planet will test everything you have before it lets you leave.
Scan Everything
Your scanner is your most important tool. Every creature you find can be scanned, catalogued, and studied. Scanning wildlife earns you Research Points. Spend them across a deep research tree spanning survival upgrades, tools, buildings and the ship systems you'll need to escape. But some technology can't be bought. Certain rare creatures hold the key to breakthroughs that no number of points can unlock. If you want to go home, you'll need to find them first.
Explore a Living World
Three distinct alien biomes stretch across the planet at launch, each with their own ecosystems, creatures, and secrets, with more to come as development continues. Explore abandoned human outposts belonging to an expedition that came before yours but didn't make it back. What happened here? The answers are out there, waiting to be found.
Survive to Escape
Gather resources, craft tools, build shelter, and manage your vitals in a world that is beautiful, alien, and deeply indifferent to your survival. Every upgrade is earned: every creature scanned, every outpost explored brings you one step closer to fixing your ship and getting off this planet.
Survival is not enough. You need to escape.
