About this game
Lost during a vacation gone wrong, help Mia gather what she needs to fix her ship and get home. Use your trusty salvaging laser to harvest resources and earn currency for buying upgrades and unlocking new activities. Meet new friends and help each other get yourselves unlost.
A COZY ADVENTURE
There's no rush! With no time limits or enemies to worry about, you can take your time collecting resources, making friends with the locals, or spending a relaxing day fishing in the nearby lava pools.A CHANGING WORLD
See how the peoples and places of this world change based on your actions. Create a hub for your friends to gather. Rediscover old characters in new locations. Earn your wealth through farming, mining, fishing, or exploration. Use that wealth to revitalize the local pet store and buy a cat tree for your spectral cat. Your time here makes a difference.FEATURES:
- Explore at your own pace. Take your time finding what's around every corner and behind every boulder.
- Craft the resources you gather into helpful upgrades for your equipment or exchange them for currency and buy items that will aid in your exploration.
- Find secrets and hints of a larger mystery. Discover why so many seem to end up in this world and why it's so hard to leave.
- Meet others who are lost and also need help finding their way. Teach a ghost how to be scary, help a single parent with his many bear children, and help a robot work through their artistic burnout.

Check out My Third Game
My third game just came out! It's called WitchHand! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2420880/WitchHand/ Use cards to build your empire of witches. Maximize the production of your villages and use your resources strategically to upgrade and expand. Focus on trade, alchemy research, or war in order to secure your coven's place amongst the Council of Fates, influencing the destiny of all. WitchHand is a lot less story-focused than Lost Nova, but it has a lot of the same vibes that I think you'll enjoy. It's a card-based city builder about managing villages of witches and defeating the void and I'm super proud of how it came out. Topher came back to produce the WitchHand OST, so if you were a fan at all of the music in Lost Nova, his new jams alone are worth the price of admission. Thanks for sticking with me, friends. I appreciate you!Read full article on Community Announcements (Encifer)AnnouncementsOfficial
I Went and Made Another Game
My second game just came out! It's called Mechanibot! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1842510/Mechanibot/ Play as a small robot charged with repairing the dying sun. Build and upgrade your team of robots to survive against the waves of enemies keeping you from your goal. After an extremely dense six months of development, I'm super excited to finally share this world of robots with you. Mechanibot is quite different from Lost Nova but has a lot of the same energy that I think you'll enjoy. The characters are cute and wholesome and the story deals with themes of fate, breaking free of responsibilities you didn't ask for, and solving problems with friendship. And, of course, you know I wasn't able to stop myself from sneaking a few Lost Nova references in. Thanks for sticking with me, friends. I appreciate you!Read full article on Community Announcements (Encifer)Patch NotesOfficial
