Join Space Alliance as a new captain-in-training and work with your crew to solve the mysteries of an ancient relic found on the Grey Planet. Little-Known Galaxy is a cozy single-player RPG space adventure full of friendly characters, exploration, crafting, and farming.
One of the game's standout features is the ability to extensively customize your living space and ship. Players can expand their living quarters, configure the deck, and even build on the outer hull. This allows for a high degree of personalization, as you can maximize resource production with machines or grow a collection of crops to your liking.
The game's robust crafting system lets you construct a range of useful machines and decorations using a workbench. Farming is also a central mechanic, as you can grow, nurture, and harvest crops right on your ship. Additionally, you can upgrade your kitchen to cook delicious recipes using the resources you've cultivated.
Building relationships with the 20 initial crew members is a significant part of the gameplay. You can interact with them through daily dialogues, gift-giving, story cinematics, and mission objectives. As these bonds deepen, your tiny community starts to feel like a true home.
You can hatch and raise a variety of cute little alien creatures known as Xeno. These companions require love, attention, and food to grow, adding a unique aspect to the game's farming and resource management.
Your spaceship can travel to far-away and undiscovered planets, where you can explore alien worlds and scavenge for resources. However, these expeditions come with risks, as you may encounter hostile alien lifeforms that you must defend against using your ship's Laser Blaster.
The game offers a dating sim-like element, allowing you to build friendships, date, and potentially marry one of 10 unique singles aboard the ship. Each potential partner has their own backstory and personal preferences, adding depth to the relationship-building experience.
You begin the game as a captain-in-training and can rise through the ranks by demonstrating your leadership skills. Factors such as mission completion, crew morale, ship improvements, resource production, and microbe research all contribute to your progress, unlocking new machines, decorations, and customization options as you advance.
The game features a microbe system, where you can use a Microbe Detector to collect and research various types of microbes found aboard the ship. These microbes can be used for crafting, sold for credits, or contributed to the Museum's collection.
