Strata
Strata is a scientifically inspired astro-planetary sandbox where you influence the formation and evolution of entire worlds — your worlds. Discover, gather, and build on the surfaces of diverse planets, explore them in depth, and manage your systems beyond the orbital levels.
Game features procedurally generated open-world universes, each containing hundreds of star systems, each with multiple explorable planets. On the planet surface you explore the world in 3rd person perspective.
Game does not aim to recreate our universe! It uses simplified mechanics from our universe to construct deep, engaging and meaningful gameplay. Strata focuses on physically-driven processes instead of scripted gameplay loops.
