About the Game
Return to Earth
Humanity fled the solar system millennia ago. Now you're going back. As a lone scientist with nothing but a nanite tool, you must uncover the truth buried in Earth's ruins—before the swarm can stop you.
Build factories that wrap around planets. Launch cargo across orbital trajectories. Die, respawn, and watch your empire keep running without you. In Starlab, gravity pulls toward the center, rockets obey real physics, and every expansion into the void is earned through planning, piloting, and survival.
Something ancient stirs between worlds. Automate. Explore. Discover what drove humanity away.
Walk across entire moons in a seamless 2D solar system where gravity pulls toward each planet's center. No loading screens between worlds. Discover caves, ruins, and alien hives across diverse biomes.
Key Features:
- Seamless planetary transitions
- Real gravity simulation
- 10+ biomes (forests, deserts, caves, alien hives, ice plains)
