Summary

  • Dandelion Void is a single-player explorer ‘em up, where the player takes on the role of an astronaut stranded on a hostile, derelict ark.
  • The ark has been neglected for centuries, with life support failing and the once-static plant life now moving and incredibly dangerous.
  • The game features a novel system whereby the player must pry open sealed doors, not knowing whether valuable supplies or a horrible space anomaly awaits on the other side.
  • Other features include crafting, ageing life support and stockpiling to survive its intermittentFAILURES, and dangerous, agile plant life.
  • The game is being developed by Manzanita Interactive, rooted in the Project Zomboid modding community, and will come with a custom map editor and Lua API, with a release date still to be announced.
  • Rock Paper Shotgun suggests the game will likely appeal to fans of sci-fi horror, especially given the dev team’s background in the creation of terrifying, behaviour-animating plant life.
