Description

The world has lost its balance and a great danger looms humanity with the impending destruction of a cataclysmic event. The only hope resides in the technology to terraform the planet and reinstate the right conditions to avoid the tragedy.

The technology has been lost to the ages, mysticism, and superstition have taken over; but the key to the secret of terraforming lies in the hands of Laura McKenzie, a brave scientist determined to save her homeworld at all costs, and the ancient encoded manuscript that reached her hands in a fateful hour.


In SOOT the player takes control of that scientist learning about terraforming through a strategy simulation game with a delicate system of balances and counterbalances and a thrill-filled story with more than one secret about the world and the nature of the coming doom.
Each level of SOOT is a different planet, with specific conditions and a particular set of objectives.


An ancient journal falls into the hands of scientist Laura MacKenzie, with it she relives the experiences of Captain Cristopher Mason and uncovers the secrets of The Federation, a powerful and forgotten space-faring civilization that used advanced technology to terraform planets.
SOOT features a dramatic story filled with mysteries, conflicting interests, and a complex political agenda, all while struggling with the technological challenges of two eras clashing through the pages of the journal.

Experience SOOT's story through interactive comic books and in-level dialogs.


SOOT features 17 different planets, over 20 structures, and 14 interactive comic book scenes, all of them developed with special care and attention to detail. With a unique steampunk aesthetic, complex 3D modelling, and detailed illustrations, each moment in SOOT is a beauty to behold.




  • Deep thought provoking gameplay that promotes problem solving with a complex simulation system.
  • Level-based progression that challenges the player along the story.
  • Narrative driven with an engaging story presented through gameplay and interactive comic books.
  • Stylized take on the sci-fi genre with a detail-rich Steampunk aesthetic.
  • Mature discussion about how humanity influences the environment through technology.

Ngl, this is one of the most unique puzzle games i've played. The regular gameplay is pretty headscratching at times, which i appreciate. The intermissions between chapters are a bit simple but I appreciate how they

All of this reminds me of my ex-girlfriend. A long time ago I played Outpost Kaloki with her, I loved that game and I liked to see how she managed to control and dominate each planet, but for some reason management and

After finishing the first chapter I have to say this is one of the games that have hooked me the most. The comic and steampunk style is lovely and the variety in gameplay avoids a boring repetitive game. Is pretty

At first, I struggled to understand the game mechanics, and personally, I found level 2 quite challenging. But once I got the hang of it, everything became much easier. It’s a very interesting game where you need to

Sadly, although I loved the premise and I think how the story is told is awesome, I could not really like the gameplay. Maybe it is because it is sold as a "Simulation and Strategy" game, when in reality is a puzzle
