Dandelion Void is basically Project Zomboid in space

Share:

Being developed by Manzanita Interactive, a team from the Project Zomboid modding community, Dandelion Void drops you into the eerie, overgrown corridors of a distant starship where survival goes beyond just staying alive. It emphasizes crafting, exploration, and player-driven customization, and is set to launch on PC via Steam, though the release date remains under wraps.

Dandelion Void unfolds aboard the Pergola, a massive starship from an alternate late-20th-century timeline, designed as a self-sustaining “civilization in a bottle” to carry its crew across generations to a distant exoplanet. It once housed living quarters, hospitals, farms, and factories, but centuries of neglect have turned it into a ruin. Now, its corridors are overrun with hostile jungle growth, and its systems, including life support, are falling apart.

Survival in Dandelion Void is a nonstop fight against a living, hostile environment. You’ll walk through dense jungle corridors to gather crafting supplies, exotic weapons, and rare decorations, while dodging tendrils and other botanical terrors. Sealed doors hide valuable resources, but opening them risks exposing you to the deadly void of space. To explore dangerous areas, you’ll need to repair spacesuits and radiation gear, and stockpile supplies for unpredictable cold nights.

Beyond the usual survival tasks of managing hunger, thirst, and shelter, Dandelion Void adds a layer of emotional depth, making your character’s comfort and happiness as vital as physical needs. To lift morale, you can build and furnish homes in unexpected spots like abandoned air ducts, office supply closets, or near reactor cooling pools.

The game also includes a custom map editor and a robust Lua API, allowing modders to create new maps, import custom clothing and weapons, or design entirely new scenarios and biomes.
