Manage resources and confront horrors in Anoxia Station, a challenging turn-based strategy game where every decision counts for your crew's survival.
About this game
Anoxia Station is a mining management game set in a dystopian near-past. A supervolcanic eruption devastated the Earth’s surface, rendering it uninhabitable. Nations now teeter on the brink of extinction relying on the Terranauts - miners sent into the hellish depths of this dying world-. Their mission: extract petroleum, crucial to sustaining humanity's essential infrastructures and survival.
It's 1988 and humanity fights on, as the Earth's state deteriorates. Your crew is part of an international group of Terranauts sent to a demilitarized neutral zone. Heading into extreme depths and braving intense radiation, heat, and shifting rock, they discover an enormous abandoned mining station and information about a massive deposit of crude oil that could fuel humanity's salvation.
But first they need to find the deposit. That means enduring conditions in the most inhospitable place known to man, while mining resources to support themselves and the remnants of mankind. The extraction must never halt, no matter the cost.
Mining Beyond the Extreme
Your goal is to rip apart the dark depths of Earth, producing resources to keep your workers alive and humanity surviving another day. Against you are extreme pressure, heat, radiation, and other incomprehensible dangers lurking deep beneath the decaying surface, across randomized maps that make every playthrough unique.
Every turn brings new challenges, forcing difficult decisions and careful consideration of circumstances. Every injury or death reduces the size of your crew permanently, while the pressure pulls them ever closer to the brink of snapping and endangering the whole station.
Each strip-mined and secured sector brings the entire crew closer to the fabled oil deposit. But the deeper you go, the more dangerous the environment becomes, bringing new dangers, new rules of survival, and new discoveries to make for the sake of mankind.
The Darkness Within
The end of the world did not end humanity or its wars. Your crew might bring together specialists from the Soviet Union, the United States, the German Democratic Republic, Japan and beyond, old rivalries die hard. Everyone has their own agenda and ambitions, even in the dark deep beneath the surface.
Choose the leader of the mining station and their crews. The team you set up alters the game - specially their secret goals. As the station continues its search, the greatest enemy might turn out to be your fellow man.
Remember, you´ll need to keep them alive. Crewmen might become despicable, but if they fall, entire production lines might be extinguished, spelling hardship, if not death for the whole mission.
Decayed Beauty
The forbidden depths of the Earth are a place of beauty, where pressure, heat, and titanic natural forces created wonders: caves made of quartz crystals, giant lakes of magma, vast salt caves and rivers of moonmilk, all depicted in a uniquely isometric style grounded in real physical processes.
The soundscape evokes the horror of working in this environment, a mix of the deafening roars of shifting rock, the harsh sounds of mining and welding, the distant clicking of something clearly inhuman, and a familiar scream.
Nobody from the surface will hear you scream. Whatever you do down here though, may save them.

Anoxia Station is available now
The wait is over. Humanity depends on you now. Decide who dies and who lives in Anoxia Station. For those just joining the mission, Anoxia Station throws you into the decaying husk of an underground research facility. As the station's overseer, you'll face a desperate struggle for survival. Manage dwindling resources, maintain vital systems, and confront grotesque, colossal creatures that lurk in the shadows. Every decision counts, and one wrong move could plunge your crew – and yourself – into the abyss. The journey to bring Anoxia Station to life has been a deeply personal one, fueled by a love for atmospheric horror and strategic gameplay. From the claustrophobic dread of Alien to the the eerie isolation reminiscent of The Lighthouse, these inspirations have been instrumental in shaping the game's core experience. You'll also find echoes of the unsettling atmosphere of Gloomy River and the cosmic horror of Lovecraftian tales woven into the narrative and creature design. The biomechanical artistry of H.R. Giger has subtly influenced the nightmarish entities you'll face. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2924310/Anoxia_Station/ Developing Anoxia Station as a solo indie dev has been a challenging yet incredibly rewarding experience. From the initial concept and countless lines of code to the intricate pixel art and nerve-wracking sound design, every element has been crafted with meticulous attention to detail. There were moments of triumph, where a system finally clicked into place, and moments of frustration, staring blankly at a bug that seemed impossible to squash. But through it all, the vision of creating a truly immersive and terrifying horror strategy game kept me going. And speaking of keeping me going, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to the incredible community that has rallied around Anoxia Station. Your support, feedback, and enthusiasm throughout the development process have been an absolute lifeline. Every wishlist, every commen...Read full article on Community Announcements (Víctor Ávila [Abylight])
