Gameplay and Mechanics
In ‘The Planet Crafter’, players take on the role of a space explorer tasked with the monumental challenge of terraforming a desolate planet. The gameplay revolves around creating a habitable environment by manipulating the atmosphere to introduce oxygen, pressure, and heat, eventually cultivating a sustainable biosphere. This non-violent game focuses on construction and exploration rather than combat or hunting, drawing comparisons to the tranquil underwater adventure of ‘Subnautica’.
