The game focuses on second chances and relationships, as befriended robots regain lost memories and passions, unlocking new abilities and interactions. As the crew grows, the skyship transforms into a lived-in space that reflects the personality and history of its members.

Gameplay emphasizes exploration, resource scavenging, and crafting, with a tactile approach to salvaging retro human technology and customizing ship systems, rooms, and decorations. The tone is calm and optimistic, highlighting community, care, and cooperation in a world recovering from collapse.

Following Chaos Theory Games’ 2024 strategy title Crab God, which supported real-world ocean conservation, Rusthaven continues the studio’s mission of imagining a better future through gameplay experiences.

Key Features:

• Cosy skyship base that evolves as you rescue and befriend robots

• Robot companions with hobbies, personal stories, and abilities

• Calm exploration of a hopeful, post-collapse world

• Salvage and crafting of retro human technology

• Deep customization of ship systems, rooms, and decorations

• Emphasis on community, care, and belonging

Rusthaven is planned for PC in 2027 and is currently available to wishlist on Steam.
