Out There expands its universe with Multiverse Update Series

When developing Out There: Ω Edition, we rebuilt it entirely in a new engine so we could port it to PC. Indeed, the initial development, started in 2012, was achieved during a very difficult part of our life where we didn't have any money or expectations for the game. Now that we have solid and versatile fundations, 3 years of players feedback and our own ideas, we have decided to expands the original experience that Out There is offering. We have planned to release a series of updates that we call Multiverse. Each Multiverse will add basic stuff you'd expect from an update. Like bug fix and small improvements. But more importantly, it will bring new game modes and contents. About that, the first update is on its way and will arrive on PC and mobiles pretty soon. Read on.

Multiverse I - Cemetery Gates

The first Multiverse update will get 3 new major additions. EASY MODE First, the long-awaited 'easy mode'. We've been strongly against that in the past as it would change the whole spirit of the game. But we think that it's a shame some people are not able to experience our game or get quite frustrated because of its evil difficulty. So this issue has been addressed. GAS GIANT RINGS They were missing for far too long, so we thought that adding rings around the gas giants would be a great cosmetic addition. Well, maybe it's not only cosmetic. CEMETERY GATES GAME MODE The most important addition is a new game mode called 'Cemetery Gates'. In this mode, you will encounter the last 10 space ships you have lost during previous runs, right where you've left them. You'll be able to scavenge the resources that you've left inside or simply take over the ship and continue your adventure. This mode will open up new strategies and possibilities. It will also boost the early game, that is is sometimes slow, as you'll find more ships around the starting point (remember all those runs prematurely ended because of bad luck?). Multiverse I - Cemetery Gates is a free update that will release early October on PC, iOS and Android. Cheers, Michael.

Out There is an award-winning space exploration game blending roguelike, resource management and interactive fiction.

You are an astronaut awaking from cryonics not in the solar system, but... out there... in a far and unknown place of the galaxy. In Out There, you will have to survive, tinkering your ship with what you can gather drifting in the void, and spot garden planets to refill your oxygen supply.

Space is an hostile place ; dangerous and mysterious adventures will mark each step of your travel. You will not only meet intelligent species that won’t care about you, but also deal with ancient powers linked to your destiny and the fate of mankind itself.

Survival and understanding of what is really at stake in the galaxy is the core of what Out There has to offer.
