Hi, I'm looking for space sim games with deep, engaging stories. I've been playing a lot of sandboxy games lately (usually my favorite type), but I kind of miss having an engrossing narrative to stimulate my brain with. My own game, for example, does not have much of a plot at this point. Do you all have any recommendations?

Off the top of my head, the games I've tried with decent stories are No Man's Sky, Rodina, Starfield, and the Mass Effect series. I own Outer Wilds but I couldn't get into the gameplay.

I'm looking for titles where the plot really left you breathless. Thanks!

Hello! My game, Fortified Space, has been out in Early Access for about a week now. It's a nostalgic space sim and tower defense hybrid inspired by classic Flash games.

It's been a successful launch! I'm happy to show off my first update, which includes a few changes to add spice to space combat. This includes an enemy laser cannon, improved NPC ship behaviors, and more.

Check out the link for more details, and if this all sounds interesting, I hope you'll give the game a try. More updates to come!
