WARNING : This game is hard. Check the forum for strategy tips : http://outthere.forumactif.org/

You are an astronaut awaking from cryonics not in the solar system, but... out there... in a far and unknown place of the galaxy. In Out There, you will have to survive, tinkering your ship with what you can gather drifting in the void, and spot garden planets to refill your oxygen supply.

Space is an hostile place ; dangerous and mysterious adventures will mark each step of your travel. You will not only meet intelligent species that won’t care about you, but also deal with ancient powers linked to your destiny and the fate of mankind itself.

Survival and understanding of what is really at stake in the galaxy is the core of what Out There has to offer.

Ratings and reviews

Criminal how a gorgeous game like this has 3.8 stars while disguised idle games full of gacha get higher. Is it hard? Yes. But that's intentional. It is designed to be a space SURVIVAL game. You'll lose a lot of runs to RNG, but to an extent you can learn to manage resources better to have higher chances. My main pull to it was that the atmosphere is insanely good. Try it with headphones, seriously. If you love space themed games like me, try it. This is a hidden gem.

It's a challenging game, and that's why I love it. I highly recommend going on easy mode. Then, pay attention to why you died. Try to learn from each death. For those convinced It's all about luck, maybe the random events were too tough. I've got a work-around for that. SPOILER: Going back to previous star systems don't trigger a random event, and you can still drill/probe and be better prepared to explore. It's a hard game, play smart and you'll be rewarded.

I love roguelikes, etc, so I expect frequent deaths, but even with that, it seems like you need a frustratingly specific run to succeed. I'm open to the idea that I need to be better at the game, but while this is a technically sound game, totally worth trying, my losses felt unfair, in a way I learned nothing from, instead of "oh ok, if I do x better, it won't happen again." 100% try, 40% keep.
