[dropcap]R[/dropcap]emember Don’t Starve ? The quirky survival game. The developers behind Don’t Starve, Mark of the Ninja and other popular games have released an early access to their latest game Oxygen Not Included. The game shares the same adorable art-style and amusing gameplay, as well as a straight forward user interface.

In Oxygen Not Included you will start with a tiny colony of only three people. Inside what appears to be a moon rock, you will begin with a box of just a few useful things to help you get rolling. Some foods, tools, and a computer to research technologies used to advance in the game.

The player will dig, explore, build and make sure the tiny colony is steadily growing. Building toilets, beds, food resources and more is necessary to ensure your people are happy. Similar to previous Klei Enteriament games, Oxygen Not Included features adorable animations. Each of the characters in your colony have their own will, attitude and character. It is your job to make sure everyone is happy, or you will quickly have one or two sneak off to a quiet place for a quick cry.

About Oxygen Not Included

Oxygen Not Included is a space-colony simulation game. Manage your colonists and help them dig, build and maintain a subterranean asteroid base. You’ll need water, warmth, food, and oxygen to keep them alive, and even more than that to keep them happy.

Build Extensive Bases and Discover What it Takes to Survive

Everything in your space colony is under your control, from excavation and resource allocation right down to plumbing and power systems. Resources will begin depleting with your first breath, however, so be sure to dig fast if you want to live.

 

It’s Mind Over Matter with Stress Simulations

Keep the psychological impact of survival at bay with fun leisure activities, great accommodations and even better food for your colony. Duplicants each have different and potentially destructive ways of reacting to stress, so be sure to always keep them happy. Whatever the cost.

Enhance Efficiency through Complex Gas and Liquid Simulations

Create interlocking pipe systems to swiftly deliver fuel and liquid to critical areas of your base. Plan well and be rewarded as your colony transforms into an imperishable, well-oiled machine.

This game is currently in development, but available on Steam Early Access, and can be purchased for $24.99 right here. We have reached out to the developer in regards to Multiplayer and future supported platforms. We will update this post once we receive more clarification on this.
