Long Watch

Restart an old relay station, pick up lost transmissions from deep space, and expand into nearby sectors.

GET THE STATION RUNNING

The station wakes up from deep hibernation. Generate Energy, collect signals and asteroids that appear on the radar, and use what you gather to install new modules: solar panels, a better radar, a collector, and later a decoder.

READ THE MESSAGES

The signals carry pieces of old transmissions. Feed them into the Decoder Core and it rebuilds the messages one at a time. There are five in total, and together they tell you what happened here.

BUILD MORE STATIONS

Later, you unlock the star map and can build stations in other sectors. Each sector is different: one produces more Energy, another has richer asteroids. All stations share the same resources, while Network Points unlock upgrades that apply across the entire network.

LET THE MACHINES DO IT

At first, you do almost everything by hand. Automate your stations and spend more time expanding the network.

Long Watch is currently in active development. An early playable build is available now.
