Fold the
Stars

The story

Hearth is home

Hearth has one reactor and no sun. Everything it eats is out there, and nowhere else. So Hearth builds small ships, and sends out pilots. You are one of them.

Why fight: The Echoes hunt full holds — and they were ours, once.
The goal: Haul back enough dark matter to build a drive that can fold Hearth out of the dark.

How it plays

Harvest. Fight. Fold home.

Harvest

Crack dead worlds for cargo across twelve named harvest Folds, or a randomly generated sector. Iron, titanium, crystal, plasma and dark matter all ride home in your hold.

Fight

Seven enemy types hunt with their own tactics, from swarming Drones to mine-laying Sowers and Drone-launching Carriers. Outfly them, or lose the cargo with the ship.

Fold home

Point the scout at Hearth and fold. Everything in the hold is yours to keep, saved on your device.
