About
Solargene is a complex sci-fi simulation that places you at the helm of a budding space corporation in the mid-21st century. Blending deep colony management, orbital mechanics, and 4X strategy, you must oversee the construction of orbital stations and planetary bases while managing the fragile lives of your crew across the entire solar system.
Story
Set in a near-future scenario where Earth faces critical resource shortages, humanity looks upward for survival. Leading nations have begun colonizing the solar system, and as a corporate commander, you are tasked with spearheading this expansion—establishing logistical footholds on the Moon, Mars, and beyond to secure the future of the human race.
Gameplay
The game offers a rich sandbox experience focused on granular management and construction. Players design multi-module space stations and surface colonies block-by-block, establish complex interplanetary logistics routes, and manage crew psychology and oxygen levels. The experience shifts between architectural design, economic strategy, and personnel management.
