WARNING : this game is hard ! Check the forum for strategy tips : http://outthere.forumactif.org/

You are an astronaut awaking from cryonics not in the solar system, but... out there... in a far and unknown place of the galaxy. In Out There, you will have to survive, tinkering your ship with what you can gather drifting in the void, and spot garden planets to refill your oxygen supply. 

Space is an hostile place ; dangerous and mysterious adventures will mark each step of your travel. You will not only meet intelligent species that won’t care about you, but also deal with ancient powers linked to your destiny and the fate of mankind itself.

Survival and understanding of what is really at stake in the galaxy is the core of what Out There has to offer.

### 5/5 — Игра из детства 💯

*2026-08-01, version 3.5*

В игре есть русская локализация на момент 01.08.2026 года (в принципе, комментарий пишу только ради этого). Всем советую) Разработчикам спасибо)

### 5/5 — Skip tutorial please.

*2026-06-21, version 3.5*

I don't need the tutorial I've played this game over the years and it's such an awesome game. I tried grinding through the tutorial and gave up after finally making a space folder. Seriously needs a skip tutorial.

### 1/5 — Running out of fuel simulator

*2026-06-03, version 3.5*

So i can make like 3 jumps before there is just no way to gather H? Every run? So….. how is this a game?

### 5/5 — I can’t stop running out of fuel, and I love it!

*2026-04-28, version 3.5*

I can’t stop playing, and I can’t stop running out of fuel!! Thank you for this welcome stress in my life. I just want to succeed!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-04-02, version 3.5*

### 5/5 — Out here

*2026-02-05*

Спустя 8 лет нашел эту игру. Скачал и так же завис в ней, это одна из немногих игр, которые я не могу пройти. Очень крутой проект, спасибо разработчикам 🫶🏻

### 3/5 — Well made + Frustrating

*2026-02-02, version 3.2*

A well made game that's immersive but impossibly difficult. Great graphics, writing and music won’t save this game from itself. Other reviewers have detailed the problem: gameplay is way.too.RNG!

### 3/5 — Well made + Frustrating

*2025-09-25, version 3.2*

A well made game that's immersive but impossibly difficult. Great graphics, writing and music won’t save this game from itself. Other reviewers have detailed the problem: gameplay is way too RNG!!

### 2/5 — Tedius but well-written

*2025-09-06, version 3.2*

It’s just not very interesting. The writing is good, but it’s padded between countless clicks of shuffling fuel and repairs and then losing to a bad dice roll, over and over.

### 3/5 — Extremely Hard Even on Easy

*2025-07-12, version 3.2*

The gameplay is novel, but high repetitive. You jump to a new star system and decide which planets to visit. There are 3 types of planet, each of which offers different resources, but each type costs you different resources to mine. Run out of any of three key resources and the game ends. 

There are tech upgrades that allow you to jump further, use less of a resource, and so on, but you find those randomly, and can lose them as well. I’ve had long games where I only got 1-2 techs, and didn’t have the resources necessary to install them. 

The game is very heavy on randomization—random events can easily end your game by, for example destroying your engines without the resources needed to repair them, or dropping you in a star system that you can’t jump away from because you haven’t got the tech upgrades that allow for longer jumps. Star systems are mostly randomized so it’s easy to encounter a string of systems where you can’t replenish your oxygen and so you die. 

There are four ways to win, but after 50+ play-throughs, I’ve never even gotten close to one of them, and I shudder to think how rough this game would be on Moderate. The language system for dealing with aliens is fun but gets repetitive after a while, and the alien races are entirely interchangeable. 

So while I like the idea of the game, in practice it’s an exercise in frustration, because no strategy will overcome the effects of randomness, at least no strategy I can figure out.
