HullRats
SteamAbout HullRats
Survive the harshness of space in a deep sandbox simulation. Be what ever you want to be. Trade, steal, fight, salvage. Build and improve your ship.
The world will evolve around you. There is no linear story. Your story will write itself through your actions and various random or scripted events.
Disclaimer: The game is in a very early stage of development. Everything is placeholder and everything is subject to change. Most game systems are not implemented yet, and those that are there, are barebones. A certain game marketing guru said that it's never too early to create the Steam page, so here we are. Thanks CZ.
