Planet Scanner (demo)

This is a condensed demo of the full 30+ day game, coming to Steam in October and available to wishlist now.

You're just here to do a job. The universe has other plans for you.

You are ScanCorp's newest Planet Scanner and your task is to discover, study, and claim distant planets on behalf of your employer. The business of selling planets is booming, especially as the search for intelligent alien life heats up...

GET YOUR ASSIGNMENTS

Use your computer to check emails, get your daily assignments, and learn more about the galaxy around you. Stay up to date with the news, check the market prices for certain planetary traits, and buy upgrades to make your job easier!

SCAN THE STARS

The telescope is your main way of observing the universe, so use it to lock onto a star and bring up its' local system on the map console. Scan planets to discover them, learn more about their unique properties, and upload them to ScanCorp's servers.

SEARCH FOR SIGNALS

As the search for non-human civilizations intensifies, you will be asked to ping planets as you scan them in the hopes of finding an alien transmission. Lock in the waveform, decrypt the signal, and open a Pandora's box you never could have fathomed...

Planet Scanner is a semi-procedural horror narrative set in an isolated, cramped space station.
