About the Game


With Earth on the brink of ecosystemic collapse, DOLOS A.E.C. leads efforts to find a new home for the human race. Whether by chance or fate, its prototype space station, the Tiqqun, finds itself cast adrift, a disintegrating ark upon which the remnants of humanity must find sanctuary – and you, Administrator, are at its helm.

IXION is a city-builder that requires you to be vigilant, to constantly assess and reassess, to learn and adapt. If you and your crew are to endure, you must confront the perils of space, while at the same time uncovering its secrets and extracting its resources. Danger, however, will come from within as well as without; you’ll need to establish, maintain and develop the Tiqqun’s infrastructure while managing the station’s population, deciding how best to answer their pleas so as to maintain their trust in you and the mission.

There are no simple solutions; your actions will have repercussions, now or further down the line. How you deal with those repercussions will be the difference between survival and extinction.


A population to manage, survivors to find, cryopods to recover... Maintain your crew's trust in the corporation that started this venture, or face failure and mutiny. Six sectors can be unlocked within the station, each able to house more population, support new jobs, and provide opportunity to monitor the crew with the Data Listening System. Will you bring hope to the people?


Who said DOLOS was the only faction to escape the fate of the Earth? Brush up against other pockets of survivors, navigate on from the failures and wrecks of others… IXION will lead the player through gripping chapters of story, where new threats and opportunities are presented, all in aid of reaching the final destination, a new home.


DOLOS are famed for their innovative technology, their scientists, but the Tiqqun now finds itself cut off. Find what resources you can, research what you do not have. Find new ways to provide for your settlement, construct new buildings to create what’s needed. Modify the Tiqqun station, improve it, forge ahead in this odyssey.


Space is a dangerous place. Hull breaches, overloaded power supplies, electrical fires... It is up to you to manage these risks, deal with emergencies, create backup power solutions, and enable Extra Vehicular Activity…


There are whole new stellar maps to explore. Send out probes to reveal what’s hidden, create mining and cargo ships to find resources, commission science expeditions to discover the secrets and threats you’ll find out there in space. Encounter other survivors and bring them into the fold of your mission, objective - survive.

IXION — 10/10 Beautiful game. Many might not enjoy it, but if you’re ready to be humbled by your own ship and your own population, this is for you. Long, brutal, unforgiving, and unforgettable. The story stays with you

I want to like it, but every time I tried to start again or replay I'm turned off again because the game is so finicky and punishing in basic areas like building space, storage, and even building/resource transportation

I absolutely love this game. I played the demo and instantly knew I had to own this game. I still go back to it every once in a while and jack up the difficulty, or put it on easy street for just a good play through.

This is one of those 'cool ideas, but badly done' kinda games so it pains me to leave a poor review when there's so much missed potential, but at the same time, kind of cathartic because of what it puts you through

If you like city-builders, this is a great game. If you like sci-fi settings, even better. The gameplay is pretty standard, and well-polished. The story is also pretty good. Not quite as deep as the ANNO games, which

Super underrated. It's basically Frostpunk in space and that's already a great pitch, but it does its own thing really well. Managing your space station while exploring space is genuinely fun, and the story kept me
