Survival and Bioengineering on Sota7
In this survival-sandbox title, players step into the astro boots of Hennessy, a pioneer exploring the uninhabited and mysterious planet of Sota7. The game's setting features diverse biomes ranging from calm forests and vibrant jungles to vast fields near a volcano. The core gameplay loop revolves around gathering resources, analyzing samples, and conducting scientific exploration to help save Earth's ecosystem.
Players utilize bioengineering mechanics such as allogamy and grafting to crossbreed flora and fauna, creating new life forms designed to harmonize with the alien environment.
Base Building and Laboratory Management
Survival on Sota7 requires a permanent stronghold. Players can plan and construct modular bases inspired by Art Nouveau natural shapes, serving as both living quarters and scientific workshops. For players who prefer focusing on research over construction, an in-game Planning Mode handles base building automatically.
The heart of each base is a laboratory where collected samples are analyzed, experiments are performed, and new hybrid species are cultivated to unlock the planet's hidden riches.
