Stranded: Alien Dawn is a futuristic settlement survival game where we have to help a little group of people survive on an alien world after their ship crashes into it. Hang on, I've heard of that before!

OK, so comparisons to this game and Rimworld are inevitable, because Stranded: Alien Dawn is a bit like Rimworld but in 3D. There some differences here and there but I think saying it's like 3D Rimworld is acceptable, and that's fine with me because a 3D Rimworld sounds amazing!

After carefully selecting our survivors we see them crash down onto the planet Saltu, a hot and humid tropical jungle planet. Once they're over the shock of crash landing we get to work building a shelter and moving our resources into a lovely stockpile.

We also begin to explore things in the local area because we have no idea what anything is. Big pointy flowers! Gigantic grass! Meat bananas! They're all there!

We seem to muddle through OK, happening across only friendly wildlife, and our people are so happy they even throw a little party! Although it does seem that food is running low...

AN UNFORGIVING WORLD
Stranded: Alien Dawn pushes you and your survivors to the brink. Limited resources, unpredictable weather, illness and hostile alien creatures make it hard to establish a foothold on an unforgiving world. The next challenge is never far away, requiring construction of an increasingly robust base using advanced resources and improved defences.

STRANDED SURVIVORS
Ensure your group’s physical and mental wellbeing by providing weapons, medicine, and muchneeded entertainment. Every survivor has a unique backstory, varying levels of ability in key skills, and both positive and negative traits. Only by improving their skills and maximising their potential will you survive.

AN UNPREDICTABLE JOURNEY
In Stranded: Alien Dawn, every playthrough is unique. Experience a journey driven by random story events, alien wildlife threats and adverse weather. There will be setbacks; devise your own innovative solutions to problems and manage multiple crises at the same time. However, actions have consequences and as you strive to plan ahead, you must make difficult choices to shape the story of your survivors, balancing short and longterm outcomes with risk and reward.

MODULAR BASEBUILDING
Design and build your base on an alien world and transform it from simple shelter to hightech outpost. Protect it with perimeter defences, decorate it with furnishings, introduce automated devices such as defensive turrets, and discover new technology to create your own functioning space pad.
