About this game
BUILD A CAFFEINE EMPIRE IN SPACE
You're the manager of a remote coffee outpost on the edge of known space. One machine. Zero workers. Your job: turn this into a galaxy-supplying operation.
Recruit 33 unique alien workers—baristas, technicians, traders, support units, and fighters—and watch them automate every step of production. Expand across 6 themed decks, from the industrial Engineering bay to the VIP lounge. Each deck multiplies your entire station's output.
RIDE THE RUSH
Every 8 minutes, Rush Hour hits. For 45 seconds, machines run at infinite capacity and earnings double. Ships streak past your station as you capitalize on the surge.
When you're ready, face one of 8 Galactic Inspector variants in a boss fight to earn your prestige reset.
PRESTIGE THAT MATTERS
Defeat the Inspector, reset, and earn Prestige Tokens. But this isn't "buy upgrades in order." You choose your path:
- Automation Mastery – Boost trader income and offline production
- Active Mastery – Enhance Rush Hour rewards and morale bonuses
- Combat Mastery – Increase fighter damage and boss click power
Beyond prestige tokens: R&D research, unit specialization trees, deck synergies, shrines, achievement buffs, and daily streaks. Multiple systems working together = weeks of meaningful progression. Random run modifiers keep each prestige fresh.
THE DETAILS
Free and complete. No paywalls. Designed to finish without spending a cent. Optional cosmetic DLC for supporters.
Accessible. 28 languages, colorblind modes, controller support, camera shake toggle.
Streamer-friendly. Twitch integration shows viewer names on units.
Guided by ARIA. Your station AI walks you through every system with dark humor and dynamic expressions.

Starbrew Station v2.0.0
Hey Station Managers! This update is the result of a full review of every core game system and the main game scene, fixing multiplier math, Rush Hour bugs, and localization gaps ahead of our next content push. Bug FixesFixed deck synergy production bonus being counted twice - The global production synergy (e.g. Admin Deck +10%) was applied twice to barista and supplier income. Production numbers are now correct Fixed Rush Hour bonus lost when loading a save mid-rush - Loading a save during an active Rush Hour showed the Rush Hour UI but applied no production bonus. The multiplier, progress bar, and music now restore correctly Fixed Rush Surge perk ignored on save load - The 3x Rush Surge multiplier was downgraded to 2x when restoring an active Rush Hour from a save Fixed Golden Hour progress bar overflow - With the Golden Hour perk (doubled first Rush Hour), the timer bar showed over 100% and reported the wrong time remaining Fixed early Rush Hour ship spawns never triggering - Supply ships were meant to start arriving during the Rush Hour warning phase, but the warning signal was never sent Fixed inconsistent global production multiplier calculation that could zero out production if used with no synergies unlocked Fixed a signal cleanup leak in the game coordinator that could cause doubled camera shake after scene transitions Removed broken camera arrow button connections in the main game scene (buttons still work via hold-to-pan) Improvements Save error messages and Botanical Garden feedback text are now localizable (translations rolling out across all 30 languages) Cleaned up leftover editor temp files from the project Thanks for all the reports and feedback - keep them coming on Discord and we'll keep updating! - Lost Rabbit DigitalRead full article on Community Announcements (info)Patch NotesOfficial
