Last year, VEOM Studio and Crytivo introduced The Crust on PC via Steam in "early access" format. Players are invited to take on the role of CEO of a space company.
From a gameplay perspective, The Crust is a large-scale economic strategy game about lunar colonization with survival elements. Players will have to balance survival and development, manage a team, resources, and infrastructure. There will be an opportunity to design automated production lines and fulfill orders from Earth corporations and states:
Create scarcity by speculating on demand for long-term gain, or invest your surplus in ambitious megaprojects that enable humanity to become a multi-planetary species.
The Crust developers are preparing for a full release – they have published a teaser for version 1.0:
The full version of the game will feature a complete story campaign with multiple endings, an improved sandbox, and an updated prologue. There will be global events such as solar flares and meteor showers, as well as new mechanics – building roads for trucks, firing colonists and adjusting salary levels, a module and conveyor planning mode, and much more.
