In the midst of a high-stakes chase from Admiral Voltan and the war-hungry Zutopans, every decision you make matters. Manage multiple decks of your starship by building, repairing, and defending critical systems while ensuring that the basic needs of your crew are met—from food, water, and air to sleep and social interaction. The game presents you with a living, breathing ship full of characters who interact as family, friends, rivals, and even lovers. Their moods, relationships, and ideas can have a profound impact on your journey, making every playthrough a unique, emergent experience.

As you explore diverse star systems with varied biomes, you must adapt to challenges such as fires, electrical hazards, radiation, and oxygen shortages. Build up your vessel by designing intricate corridors, streamlining resource management, and even rearranging your hangar deck in zero gravity—all in an effort to extend the life of your ship and crew.

Adding a touch of quirky charm, the game features an unusual bonus: there’s a pig on board that you can pet, offering a lighthearted moment amidst the cosmic drama.

Inspired by epic 1970s star-spanning anime adventures and infused with a playful toylike sandbox aesthetic, Jumplight Odyssey combines strategic ship management with dynamic storytelling and emergent simulation. Although development on the game has been paused indefinitely due to financial constraints, the developers hope to resume work in the future and have committed to donating 50% of profits from every copy sold to support the team. In the meantime, the vibrant and welcoming community continues to celebrate the magic of the concept, inviting new captains aboard the SDF Catalina.

Prepare for a journey filled with tactical challenges, heartwarming interactions, and the thrill of exploration—each escape a learning experience that pushes you to try again, adapt, and overcome.
