Zenith Expanse
Launches 30 September 2026 · PC · Indie, Simulation, Strategy
Command a damaged scout ship in a living space colony survival sim. Wake your crew from cryostasis, secure water and food, build fragile settlements, trade or smuggle between factions, and survive the stories that emerge.
Story
A damaged scout ship. One awake crew member. Two lives locked in cryostasis. In 2420, humanity finally reached beyond its home systems. The warp engine opened the way to distant worlds, and the Zenith Expanse program sent small scout vessels ahead of the larger expedition. Whisper-1 was one of them. It was not a colony ark. It was a fragile recon ship with a crew of three, enough to scan planets, prepare a first outpost, and prove that life could survive where the maps ended. Then the power failed. Most supplies were lost. The water recycler contaminated almost everything it touched. Two crew members remain sealed in emergency cryostasis, and the ship AI refuses to wake them until survival projections improve. Your first job is simple: keep everyone alive long enough to deserve a future. Survive the first days Zenith Expanse is a single-player space colony survival sim where your expedition begins small, vulnerable, and badly underprepared. Scan nearby worlds to find planets worth risking a landing. Secure water and food before the ship AI allows the rest of your crew to wake. Hunt, harvest, craft, and build your first survival chain from whatever the planet gives...
