Frequently asked questions

Do you control a character in Stellar Broadcast?
No. You are the colony ship's artificial intelligence, so you manage systems, crew and decisions rather than a single person.

No. Every voyage generates a new chain of planets, with unique atmospheres, oceans, climate, moons, rings, surface formations and signs of civilization.
What kind of puzzles does Stellar Broadcast have?
Scientific and communication puzzles inspired by astronomy, mathematics and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence: spectral lines, alien number systems, reconstructed transmissions and separating signal from noise.
Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What Stellar Broadcast is
It is a management game with a story: Earth is gone, your colony ship carries the last survivors through an unknown galaxy, and every voyage generates a new chain of planets, discoveries, dangers and decisions.
You are the AI rather than a person, so your job is keeping systems running and people alive instead of flying anything by hand.
Each world has its own atmospheres, oceans, climate, moons, rings and surface formations, and signs of civilization on a planet are clues about what waits below.
When a reading is thin you choose between spending a precious probe, risking a landing, or continuing deeper into space.
Resources and signal puzzles
The systems you manage run across hull, shields, navigation, cryopods and landing systems; fuel, energy, water, probes and surviving colonists; technology and scientific capability; crew society, morale and cultural identity; and relations with the civilizations you meet.
Puzzles are inspired by astronomy, mathematics and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence: analysing spectral lines, interpreting alien number systems, reconstructing transmissions, and telling a real signal from deep-space noise.
Narrative events have lasting consequences, covering equipment failures, dwindling supplies, disagreements among the crew, scientific discoveries, alien encounters and crises.
Landing is not the end: your chosen world, the state of the ship, the people you saved and the technology you preserved all shape the colony's government, society and culture.
Who it suits, and what it is like
The store page names no other game as a comparison; it describes reading planets, managing systems and solving communication puzzles, with no combat loop described (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-28).
The core skill it asks for is reading evidence: the page says worlds reward players who learn to read visual clues instead of relying only on instruments (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-28).
It is a decision game where what you sacrifice may matter as much as what survives, so expect trade-offs between probes, supplies and colonists rather than an action challenge (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-28).
