Description

The world you knew is gone.

You awaken as the last active Caretaker, a machine built for one purpose: save humanity. Across a vast ocean covering the ruins of Earth, you must recover human seeds, restore the Lazarus Complex, and prepare the next generation for launch into orbit.

The Last Caretaker is a first-person survival-crafting game about systems, choices, and purpose. Every resource matters. Every structure has a reason to exist. Every success gives humanity one more chance.

SAVE HUMANITY

Recover human seeds and return them to the Lazarus Complex. Manage their growth, restore memory data, and prepare them for life beyond Earth.

BUILD WHAT YOU NEED

Scavenge abandoned facilities, dismantle wreckage, and recycle materials into tools, weapons, power networks, and essential modules. Restore the machinery needed to keep the mission alive.

DEFEND THE FUTURE

Rogue machines, hostile systems and the world itself will push back. Repair and maintain, upgrade your equipment, and protect what remains.

LAUNCH TO THE STARS

Restore ancient launch infrastructure, chart the ocean, gather resources and memories, and send the humans you raised into orbit. The mission is not survival for its own sake. It is a continuation.

A WORLD WITH HISTORY

Explore silent Sanctuary docks, Refuel Outposts, Underwater cities, and long-forgotten Seed Vaults. The story is uncovered through places, logs, memories, and the remains of a civilization that tried to outlive its own world.

As I think of what to say about this game, it occurs to me it has successfully turned me into a caretaking robot through and through. I cannot leave a damage wind turbine unrepaired. 10/10 would save humanity again.

I played the demo and it was good, but the release version was mid, so I had to refund it. I got it again now though, and it's in waaay better shape performance-wise, plus they added more things to the game. this game

Quite possibly the best early access game I've played! Brilliant gameplay, and a new take on the survival genre. Well optimised, including the ray tracing, a lot of content and plenty to explore! I'm looking forward to

Subnautica meets Satisfactory - it its own way. Lots of similarities from both games. Logistics, resource management, story. Give it a shot, but def keep your web browser open. Not EVERYTHING is explained, but I haven't
