"They told us it was a foolproof method for interstellar travel."
How would you feel about waking up from cryo-sleep centuries too early on a huge space ship?
GENERATION NOVA is a strategy game of resource and colony management.
Balance the passengers needs and resources to keep the them alive and happy for millenia. But don't be too eager: Expand too fast and you might not have enough workforce to even feed the new children. Will you make the sacrifices needed to keep the voyage running or will the cold hull of the ship contain only corpses in the end?
The game takes inspiration from games like Banished, Rimworld and Frostpunk. Huge inspirations for the story and setting are from books Across the Universe and the Silo -series and the film Passengers.
Keep an eye on the ship from a high level while managing the nitty-gritty details of daily life aboard. Build, assign, and optimize while your passengers work around the clock. Mine asteroids, construct essential buildings, and balance productivity with happiness. All while making sure there will even be a next generation.
Build nearly two dozen different buildings that all serve a specific purpose inside the generation ship. Catch and mine passing asteroids to produce and refine resources and tools to keep the generations growing. Keep the security and happiness up to increase the passengers efficiency and hopefully lower the chances of bad things happening.
Assign passengers to conduct scientific research to gain upgrades and enact harsh social policies. You don't want to keep half of your population tilling the soil in the farms do you?
Choose your playstyle: Make harsh decisions and be a tyrant or be liberal and try to help as much as possible. In the end only thing that matters is that the generations will live on. Make the elders work or let them enjoy their last moments of their life in peace. Encounter problems with material and resource malfunctions and order passengers to fix the issue even at the cost of their life.
The passengers have been through a lot by just waking up in the ship. Social problems will eventually occur and everything will take a toll on their psyche. Manage their happiness and hope to keep the needed production lines going. You don't want to end up with no tools to mine the asteroids. And you definitely don't want the food to run out.
Depending on where you are flying through the space the passengers of the ship might get more creative and faster in work. But pass a dark void or a nebula and the problems might start piling up. Hopefully the hull will not be breached in the asteroid field. Plan in advance to go on a resource production spree when you know the passengers are willing to do the extra work and give them the breaks they need when times seem most dire.

"Home... This is our new home for now. Maybe one day at least the children of the future will breath unfiltered air."
