Wayfarer Protocol

📅 Sep 5, 2026
OC Studios
A colony sim on one small starship. Lay every floor tile, wire the reactor, grow the food, and keep a crew of misfits breathing while pirates cut holes in the hull. Jump sector to sector, strip asteroids, and fight ship systems instead of health bars. A dreadnought waits at sector 10.
