Celestial Drift

NOTE: I had to change the name of the game so don't be alarmed when downloaded archive has different name than you see here. With demo out I'm working on mostly content for the full version, which is expected to be released at the beginning of March 2026, one week after Steam Next Fest.

In Celestial Drift, you will assume control of a feeble ship equipped with a single laser cannon and few containers and set out to explore several handcrafted maps. You will gather money for additional and better equipment and weapons over time. Save enough money to buy a better ship. Some levels will be dark and empty, some will take place in brilliant nebulae, and others will be set in deadly regions of space. Not all paths are visible or mapped, but the whole space is your open sandbox.

Full version features:

• Various hand-crafted maps
• Map exploration (hidden stations and paths, enemy hotspots)
• Minimap patterns to help you guess where hidden paths are
• A unique set of enemies in each map
• Vast variability in ship equipment loadouts
• Ship progression—from fast and weak to slow but mighty
• Heavy technical equipment and ship naming with clear rules for you to discover
• Open space with no map gatekeeping; quests help guide you around
• Resource management (keep an eye on your charges for weapons and active equipment)
• Your destruction isn’t the end—respawn at the nearest structure
• Play at your own pace and find joy in a game that doesn’t push you anywhere
• Relaxing background tones with a spark of excitement
• Small lore bits behind each unique item and more lore hidden in stations
• Optional multiplayer

I hope you will enjoy this game as much as I enjoyed similar games in the past. 

Game can be played in client mode or stand-alone mode without any need of internet connection. Unfortunately I wasn't able to test linux version and I only assume it will run without problems.
