Our take on Derelict Void
The defining structure is a survival journey through procedurally generated wreckage, where each stop presents a choice between gathering supplies, spending resources for speed, or helping stranded survivors.
What is Derelict Void?
Derelict Void is a space survival game about commanding a ship and crew through a star system filled with stranded vessels and debris.
Players explore procedurally generated areas, salvage supplies, and choose whether to help other survivors or leave them behind. Resources can be spent on stops for scavenging or on speed, while ship expansion, crew food, and morale require ongoing management. As more survivors join, factories become necessary to sustain the growing group. The game presents a harsh survival structure in which choices affect the ability to keep the ship operating and uncover what happened to the lost star system. Its objective is to preserve the crew and save as many people as possible.
