Seedship

About this game

An AI ship full of frozen colonists must find the best planet to be the new home of the human race. A randomly-generated text-based strategy game.

Push your luck: do you settle here, on this not-quite-ideal planet, or keep searching and risk your ship being damaged in the journey? The planets you encounter are randomly generated, and as you travel you encounter random events, so each playthrough is different. See the stories of the colonies you found, and keep trying for a higher score.

Ratings and reviews

Seedship is a text-based, space exploration-themed gambling game at its heart, but with just a couple of playthroughs, you'll see that it was articulately written with some poetic beauty and brutal science fiction premises. As far as free games go, you can't go wrong with one that doesn't ask you to watch ads. So strap in, decide whether trying for a superior star system is worth the risk, and try to save the human race. Do recommend!

A fun and well written chose-your-own-adventure style game. There's a good amount of risk, with hard decisions to make at every junction, and resources to weigh against each other. Most rounds are fairly short, following a similar pattern of exploration, but there are secret events that add a fair bit of spice.

Super engaging even with short play time! This is my favorite game to play. More possibilities would always be welcome, but there really are a lot, too. And though luck is a factor in how good your colony ends up, it absolutely takes skill and difficult decision-making too. Concerning graphics, they are kind of irrelevant. It's a text-based game where storytelling and imagination fill in imagery. The game isn't designed for graphics, but for an even higher experience.
