Indie game developer Pastaspace Interactive and publisher Camlann Games have unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for their upcoming sci-fi RPG, Underspace. This highly anticipated game is poised to capture the hearts of space adventure enthusiasts and Lovecraftian horror fans alike.

A Lovecraftian Space Odyssey

Underspace is a thrilling mix of classic space sim gameplay, Lovecraftian themes, and an open-world RPG experience. Inspired by the retro classic Freelancer, this game takes players on a journey through the cosmos where every star system is meticulously crafted, and every sector holds mysteries waiting to be uncovered.

The game follows the story of Kardoz, a disgraced noble turned starchaser, in a galaxy teeming with pirates, cultists, sudden storms, and cosmic monstrosities. It's a dangerous career where risks abound, but the rewards are substantial. Players dictate Kardoz's destiny, choosing their path in a world filled with thunderous monsters, devious pirates, and ancient star cities ripe for plunder.

Choose Your Path

Underspace offers players a multitude of roles to shape their own unique narrative. Whether you opt to be a mercenary, miner, courier, pirate, or starchaser, the game provides the freedom to carve your destiny. With no two playthroughs alike, Underspace challenges players to make choices that lead to fortune or peril, depending on their allegiances.

Conquer the Elements

As you traverse 70 handcrafted star systems, be prepared for unpredictable weather. Foul storms and electric clouds can strike at any moment, concealing shadowy dangers and dormant ancient civilizations. Exploration is rewarded with hidden secrets and stories.

Monstrous Foes Await

Underspace boasts over 20 unique bosses, from world-eating serpents to possessed battleships and living minefields. Engage in skill-based, manual combat, emphasizing speed and aggression, as you battle these cosmic colossi.

Customize Your Ship

A Universe of Stories

Befriend or bewilder over 40 different factions, each with its own alliances, cultures, and preferences. Pursue random assignments or uncover hidden motives in over 30 unique sidequests. Mod and multiplayer support is planned, allowing players to not only choose their story but also craft it.

Solo Vision, Collective Effort

Underspace is the brainchild of solo developer Kevin Brock, known for his work on Bethesda titles and Skyrim modding. His vision for Underspace has been shaped over six years of dedicated development and a successful Kickstarter campaign. Brock's aim is to build upon the classic Freelancer formula in unique ways, providing a worthy successor to a beloved space game.
