Good fit- Survival game fans who want scarce food, supplies, and firewood to manage
- Action-adventure players who enjoy combining shooting, stealth, and tactical decisions
- Players who want several character approaches and multiple possible endings
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking relaxed exploration may hit a wall when food and firewood become scarce during freezing nights.
- Players looking for combat with a consistently well-equipped character may bounce off the opening situation, where ammunition is gone and rocks are the available weapon.
- Players wanting a single fixed conclusion may not enjoy working toward six possible endings.
- Players seeking a setting without hostile creatures may reject the constant threat from predatory aliens.
Our take on Notrium
The bounce point comes when survival needs collide: food is running low, ammunition is gone, and a freezing night is approaching. Players who expect to enter the alien ruins fully equipped will meet the game's central pressure before exploration has properly begun.
What is Notrium?
Stranded on Notrium after a wreck, collect nourishment, useful materials, and timber while hostile aliens hunt nearby and temperatures drop after dark.
Search abandoned extraterrestrial structures and military outposts for components used to build weapons and gear. Deal with threats by firing, hiding, or making fast choices, such as drawing creatures toward marine soldiers. Four selectable characters offer distinct skills and approaches. The survival journey can conclude in six different ways.
