Creepy Jar, the Polish studio behind the critically acclaimed survival simulator, Green Hell, is thrilled to announce the first closed playtest for their upcoming sci-fi survival title, StarRupture. Running from July 29th to July 31st, this single-player playtest offers the first exciting taste of StarRupture gameplay, and players can now apply for access via Steam.

Featuring exciting single-player content, including a free roam option, the StarRupture playtest puts players firmly into the treacherous world of Arcadia-7.

While StarRupture is a co-op game at heart, where up to four players work together, the developers also want to ensure that the game is exhilarating and engaging for those who play solo. This playtest introduces players to the core tenets of the game, encompassing base building, exploration, survival, and combat.

StarRupture’s character progression involves gaining experience and unlocking new mods, and the corporation progression unlocks new buildings to help expand your operation. Combat is a significant part of StarRupture, as well, and players will be able to customize their weapons to best fit their playstyle and boost their chances at survival.

What’s StarRupture about?

Screengrab from StarRupture gameplay

In StarRupture, you are a prisoner serving your sentence on a faraway planet where danger lurks at every turn. Tasked with building a factory and gathering resources for global corporations that don’t care if you live or die, not only will you have to defend your base from bloodthirsty enemies, but so will you have to prepare for your most terrifying threat; the planet’s very own life-giving—and taking—star, Ruptura.

Explore the lush and beautiful landscape of a seemingly unassuming planet, but stay observant! In a relentless cycle of life, death, and rebirth it’s only a matter of time before Ruptura wipes the surface clean in a fiery rage as it has countless times before. Bear witness to the revival of the landscape as after every rupture, life springs forth anew, with foliage shaking off the leftover ashes and reaching for the sky once more. Each cycle allows the player to explore new secrets or gather rare resources.

What other mysteries lie ahead? Exploration will reveal there is much more to this planet than meets the eye. Who walked these lands before you? What happened to them? Observe the remnants of previous expeditions and learn about their fate as you desperately try to survive—solo or with up to 4 players in co-op gameplay—in StarRupture.

Key Features to Expect:
  • Explore a Deadly Planet – Explore this vast open world, rich in resources, places, and secrets to be found. Discover the beauty of this constantly reborn dangerous world torn apart by repeated cataclysms.
  • Build to Thrive – Search, mine, and process resources to develop your complex industrial system. Unlock new technologies that will allow you and your base to survive the harsh conditions on the planet.
  • Fight to Survive – The planet will surprise you at every turn. Extreme temperatures are not the only things you’ll be challenged with. Get ready to defend yourself, your team, and your base from a horde of aggressive alien creatures.
  • Alone or with Friends – Experience and survive everything you encounter on this harsh planet. Do it alone or in a group of up to 4 players. This world is waiting for you to discover.

Featuring an electrifying mix of base building, exploration, combat, mystery, and survival, StarRupture is an out-of-this-world experience that is launching in Steam Early Access this Fall. For now, players can apply for access via Steam.
