Just as we were savoring the rich experience of the much-anticipated ‘final’ version of Caves Of Qud, another gem has emerged from the indie scene: Approaching Infinity. This ambitious project, developed by the micro-indie team at Ibology, has been in the works for over twelve years and has recently launched out of early access, inviting players to embark on a new adventure.
Exploring the Cosmos
Approaching Infinity presents itself as a turn-based sandbox game, drawing heavy inspiration from the beloved universe of classic Star Trek. Players assume the role of a customizable captain, tasked with the management of a modular starship. The game allows for an impressive level of personalization, enabling players to assemble a crew composed of quirky specialists and dependable staff, all essential for navigating the vastness of space.
As players set forth on their journey, they will encounter a myriad of activities designed to engage and challenge. From surveying uncharted planets to solving intricate problems, the game offers a wealth of exploration opportunities. Players can also delve into shipwrecks and interact with an array of alien species, each presenting their own unique levels of friendliness and intrigue.
With its recent release on Steam, Approaching Infinity is available for £15/, making it an accessible addition to any gaming library. As the indie gaming community continues to flourish, this title stands out as a testament to the creativity and passion that drives developers to bring their visions to life.
