Beyond These Stars - a city on the back of a space whale will be released on October 16

On October 16, Beyond These Stars , a city-building strategy from Balancing Monkey Games (authors of Before We Leave), will be released in the Hooded Horse edition. After some difficult times, the People find themselves on the back of Keva, a lonely space whale traveling the universe. Building a city on an existing creature is a task with its own difficulties, but also with opportunities for exploring the galaxy.

Home among the stars

In a hurry, the new house looks deserted and inhospitable: just a small green area near the water. When planning a city, you have to go around the curves of the earth and think through the efficiency of production chains. You can not only place buildings, but also change the shape of the landscape itself for the sake of neighborhood bonuses and shortcuts.

Terraforming allows you to dig canals, add topsoil, and plant forests—the raw materials and atmosphere depend on caring for the ecosystem. The balance is fragile: overload Keva, and the habitat will begin to shrink. The alternative is to mine resources from outposts on other planets, but without a strong relationship with the whale, you won’t know when it will decide to leave the system.

Living companion

Keva is not a pet, but a sentient being with her own desires. By interacting with her, the player builds a symbiotic relationship and, together with the whale, chooses a route through the universe. Along the way, you will meet other species with trade, technology and additional tasks, and along with them - the truth about the ancestors of the People and about the space whales themselves.

Beyond These Stars will be released on Steam. The price has not yet been announced.
