Saves you a refund- Players seeking a conventional spaceship or grounded science-fiction setting may find the premise too surreal.

- Players who prefer realistic spacecraft rather than a planet-shaped hybrid vehicle may not enjoy the presentation.
Our take on Planetship
The defining detail is the pilot's transformation into a brain-linked operator: the journey requires shedding the body and connecting what remains to the craft.
What is Planetship?
Planetship is a space adventure about finding a new world for humanity in the far future.
The player pilots a craft that is also a planet, party bus, holo-lounge, spice freighter, and rocket. The journey moves through chaotic void realms while the crew searches for a suitable destination. A starmap marks areas where Earth-like planets may exist, guiding navigation toward green zones. Candidate worlds are assessed through conditions including liquid water, temperature, mass, and atmosphere. The game also frames the pilot as a brain connected to the craft after the body is removed for survival during the trip.
