Random Space is a game of survival in the wild space. You suffered a wreck in an unknown system due to spacecraft failure. Everything you have is an emergency accommodation module and a heap of scrap. But by good fortune, you are an engineer and you have a clever pair of hands. Upgrade your habitation, build assisting robots, collect enough resources and build a spacecraft. To come home, you will have to visit all planets to determine your current location. In addition, you need to breathe, sleep and eat – remember about it! Design your spacecraft, save every drop of fuel, every tomato sprout and every gulp of air. Nobody knows for how long you will have to stay here. Follow planet movement to make a flight at the right moment when they move closer. Build and again build, upgrade, get and remember about your own needs. It will be a unique experience for every player – the star system is generated in an unpredictable manner, starting with visual parameters up to physical peculiarities of planets. Methods to survive on every planet differ – required resources available, amount of luminous energy, atmosphere availability, force of gravity, and surface area. Tune in the beat of the atmosphere of unknown planets and loneliness. I hope you will like this story. However, it depends on you whether the wild space will be friendly with you...
