Gotta’ be honest, I’m not usually a one for the survivalcrafting thing. But this has me intrigued. An abandoned oil rig, a thoughtful robot wondering what happened to, well, everything. That’s something to pique the interest, ’tis true. Yeah, this has some real potential. Keep an eye out for when it hits Early Access. No set date, but it should be before the end of the year.


Official Press Release

The Last Caretaker

You are the last caretaker; a reawakened machine tasked with saving the future of the human race by delivering human seeds from a desolate earth to the remaining human settlements in space. Offering a rich narrative to discover across a world shaped by humanity’s choices and consequences, you’ll uncover—step by step—the story behind your awakening, the echoes of those who came before, and the ultimate question of what it truly means to be human.

The Last Caretaker is a thoughtful take on the survival-crafting genre featuring a modular crafting system and resource-based combat with unrivalled depth.

Dynamic Resource Management: Your resources are your means of survival. Whether crafting weapons for offense or saving your materials for an easy exit –  you decide your priorities, what to create, how much to use and how much to keep.
Immersive Locations: Explore a vast ocean world filled with abandoned structures, mysterious laboratories, and humanity’s last remaining harbours.
Crafting & Recycling: The world is your salvage yard. Dismantle abandoned structures, tear down machinery, and decide what is worth carrying to the recycler to craft weapons, power grids, and tools.
