One of the standout elements of Objects in Space is its focus on creating a living, breathing cosmos where narrative unfolds through hundreds of unique and often short stories rather than a single linear campaign. Whether you choose to stick with the familiar central systems or venture into the perilous outer rims, you decide how deeply to invest in the storyline. The game’s open-ended approach means that at any moment, you might be taking on a bounty, delivering cargo, or answering an SOS, with your reputation influencing which missions are available and how your actions are perceived by over fifty different employers.

Gameplay in Objects in Space is reminiscent of high-stakes submarine warfare. Instead of the frantic dogfights seen in many space shooters, you’re invited to think like a tactician—stealthily planning maneuvers and engaging in cat-and-mouse encounters with those who would do you harm. Here, silence and stealth often pay off, allowing players who prefer evasion over direct combat to forge their path safely through dangerous shipping lanes. However, the option to engage in tense, strategic battles adds a thrilling counterpoint for those seeking a challenge.

Another compelling feature is the depth of customization available for your ship. Every component is under your control—from essential power systems like batteries to every module that enhances performance. This attention to detail gives a delightful sense of personal responsibility; your choices in outfitting your vessel have real consequences when you’re in a firefight or trying to outrun an enemy scanner. This mechanic encourages players to weigh risk against reward, whether opting for a rugged combat ship or a nimble trading vessel engineered for stealth and evasion.

Adding to its immersive allure, Objects in Space offers time-based events and a world that truly feels alive. With hand-crafted star systems to explore and derelict ships, wreckage, cargo pods, and beacons scattered throughout, every journey leads to unexpected encounters and hidden treasures. The game caters to a wide variety of playstyles—you can be a trader, a bounty hunter, a daring explorer, a cunning pirate, or even all three at different times.

For players who enjoy experimenting beyond the digital screen, the game even encourages building DIY controllers using Arduinos. With a bit of soldering know-how, you can construct your very own ship bridge with physical switches and buttons, adding a tangible layer of immersion to your escapades in deep space.

Objects in Space is not just a game but an invitation to craft your own legends in the cosmos. With its complex economic systems, dynamic narrative structure, and the constant temptation of danger lurking in every corner of space, it offers an expansive sandbox where freedom and strategy coexist—a truly refreshing spin on the space exploration genre.
