Stormcloak Games’ upcoming 2D sci-fi base builder Adaptory will be playable at Gamescom 2025 as part of the Indie Arena Booth from August 20 to 24.
The game puts players in charge of four stranded explorers trying to survive on a remote planetoid. You’ll manage oxygen, electricity, and resources while fending off hazards like meteor showers and solar flares. Alongside keeping the crew alive, you’ll also uncover their backstories through logs, conversations, and events woven into a larger mystery.
From digging out underground facilities to automating systems, Adaptory mixes colony sim mechanics with character-driven storytelling, all presented in a hand-drawn visual style.
Adaptory is slated for an Early Access launch sometime in 2025 on PC (via Steam and Itch.io)
