Starnded: Gardens of the Rubellite is a third-person survival RPG set on Sara-376c — a hostile, pink-and-purple wilderness 70 light-years from Earth, and humanity’s final attempt at survival.
Before disaster struck, Earth’s nations launched one desperate mission: send a million capable people to a habitable world. With the old systems collapsing, survival became the only currency. Those who built the colony ships, cryopods, and life-support systems earned a single reward — a frozen ticket to a new world.
Your cryopod opens the moment you start the game.
Those who woke up before you began carving out a foothold.
They built camps, scavenged safe zones, and pieced together crude labs. Yet Sara-376c is nothing like the world they were promised — it’s alive, ancient, and already claimed by something far older than humanity.
Explore the Rubellite Wilderness
The Rubellite biome is a vivid, alien landscape — forests and shrubland washed in pink and purple tones, with plants that glow faintly in the dark.
Human traces: survivor camps, abandoned labs, scattered corpses, discarded gear.
Alien traces: weathered structures and carvings suggesting an intelligent civilization long gone.
