Indie game developer Pastaspace Interactive and publisher Camlann Games have unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for their upcoming sci-fi RPG, Underspace. This highly anticipated game is poised to capture the hearts of space adventure enthusiasts and Lovecraftian horror fans alike.

A Lovecraftian Space Odyssey

Underspace is a thrilling mix of classic space sim gameplay, Lovecraftian themes, and an open-world RPG experience. Inspired by the retro classic Freelancer, this game takes players on a journey through the cosmos where every star system is meticulously crafted, and every sector holds mysteries waiting to be uncovered.

The game follows the story of Kardoz, a disgraced noble turned starchaser, in a galaxy teeming with pirates, cultists, sudden storms, and cosmic monstrosities. It's a dangerous career where risks abound, but the rewards are substantial. Players dictate Kardoz's destiny, choosing their path in a world filled with thunderous monsters, devious pirates, and ancient star cities ripe for plunder.

Choose Your Path

Underspace offers players a multitude of roles to shape their own unique narrative. Whether you opt to be a mercenary, miner, courier, pirate, or starchaser, the game provides the freedom to carve your destiny. With no two playthroughs alike, Underspace challenges players to make choices that lead to fortune or peril, depending on their allegiances.

Conquer the Elements

As you traverse 70 handcrafted star systems, be prepared for unpredictable weather. Foul storms and electric clouds can strike at any moment, concealing shadowy dangers and dormant ancient civilizations. Exploration is rewarded with hidden secrets and stories.

Monstrous Foes Await

Solo Vision, Collective Effort

Underspace is the brainchild of solo developer Kevin Brock, known for his work on Bethesda titles and Skyrim modding.
