Still Above: Orbital Refuge

Orbital survival strategy

Still Above: Orbital Refuge is a PC survival and station-building strategy game set after Earth has been ruined. You start in a damaged orbital module with a small crew, rising CO₂, dwindling food, a decaying orbit and no batteries to carry the station through orbital nights. You decide what to dismantle, salvage or build first, with live numbers showing the problems rather than instructions.

The opening is a scramble, and finding a workable order can take a few restarts. The station’s orbit keeps getting lower as atmospheric drag pulls it down, and the propellant needed to reboost depends on its mass. Adding modules gives you more room to work, but also makes staying in orbit more expensive.
