Rated "Very Positive" on Steam, Stranded: Alien Dawn is a survival game in which you must help a small group of survivors on a hostile planet. Gather resources, build your base, and explore this world while overcoming various challenges.

As in many survival games, Stranded: Alien Dawn plunges you into a hostile world where resources are limited and the environment is full of dangers. The fate of a small group of survivors rests in your hands, and you’ll have to protect them and meet their needs. 

Currently available for $17.49 on Steam, this game offers a gameplay experience featuring random events. You'll need to explore the surrounding area, gather resources, grow crops, and build a sturdy base.

Each survivor has a different story and skills, allowing you to assign them to different tasks. You can also develop some of their skills to improve your chances of survival. However, keep an eye on their physical condition and mental health. In this world, danger is everywhere, and you'll have to deal with diseases, hostile creatures, and unpredictable weather. 

New technologies will allow you to make discoveries and improve your quality of life. Also, provide your survivors with warmth and entertainment to help them overcome new challenges.
