- Feel: Lay roads and houses on a space whale’s back, dig rivers, plant trees, and run supply chains and outposts—pace can stay slow or get busy.
- Story: The Pips stumble onto a space whale named Kewa; they survive, learn to talk with it, and dig up old debts between ancestors and the whale.
- Hook: The city sits on a living host that gets hungry and can fly off; your bond with Kewa decides how long you can linger in a system.
- Look & sound: Fresh green when healthy, grey when barren; rounded sci-fi look; quiet score; talk leans on text and short character chirps.
- Mood: Cozy city-building on the surface, always warning you not to hollow out the host’s back.
- Polish: Full Steam launch 2026-10-16; ~fifteen languages including Simplified Chinese; about 60–70% positive; some find systems and talk UI roundabout.
- Length & value: ~$30 list, ~20% off at launch; cross-system outposts, trade, and pollution cleanup can carry a long run.
- Scope: Continues the Pips and space-whale setup from Before We Leave; solo city-building, no combat.
- Similar: Before We Leave, The Wandering Village, Timberborn.
