"Cybernetic mice and cheese in space. What's not to like?"
- Donna J. Haraway
You are the first human to launch in a rocket since the AI Exodus, many generations ago. Your personal AI companion, Olli, is helping you steer and understand rocket physics. The Earth, abused by accelerating trade, unlimited capitalism and nuclear war, is nearing 16.7 degrees above the ancient Paris Accords.
The ice is gone, water abundant and life is going extinct across the shrinking landmasses. A few thousand remaining humans are desperate to get out, but forced to stay until they fix the problem they created, or die trying.
You've had enough.
Now, you are breaking the treaty that forced your parents and grandparents to produce for the Machine, before it fractured and left the planet. Your species was left behind, deemed unfit for cyberization and hive-minding, with other physiologies more fit for the hostile environments.
You escaped your caves and crystal palaces, and found an old rocket on a launchpad. You load a program to teach you how to fly. Above you, a glittering piece of crystalized cheese is in orbit of Earth in front of the Moon, at Lagrange 2.
You are about to take a break from gravity.
Gravity Break isn't just a game about rocket physics. It’s an absurdist game about cheese.
You see, cheese weighs a lot, but contains a lot of calories. This makes it a surprisingly efficient commodity when navigating between planets, where cybernetic rodents trade cheese from terraforming cows on the moon.
In this single-player space freelancer adventure, you are in the cockpit of a small rocket. Physics is the foundation of everything you do.
Feel the Gravity: Through somaesthetic gameplay, you feel the direct impact of your cargo. Your rocket handles differently whether you're hauling light microchips or heavy wheels of moon-cheese.
Newtonian Movement: Master inertia and slingshot maneuvers. It's easy to learn but hard to master – just like learning to ride a bike for the first time.
A Living Economy: Trade everything from Earth’s water to Moon fuel to upgrade your ship.
Clean up your mess: Many generations of humans have left the Earth a huge dump. Do what you can, to prove that humans are ready to join the ranks of interplanetary species: Cybernetic rodents, cows with parasitic milking automatons, dolphins in exosuits and monkeys with very large hats.
Humanity has been made redundant by AI and forced to retreat to caves and secure domes on Earth. But you’ve had enough of video games and hard labor – you want to be a part of the real world.
On your journey, you will meet:
Olli: Your faithful Pocketpal, guiding you through the difficult art of rocket flight.
Bilby from Mercury: A disillusioned cybernetic bilby seeking help for an industrial revival.
Arne de la Lune: A cow whose milk literally fuels the colonies.
Captain Croissant: A Martian monkey with a very large hat and an even larger appetite for piracy.
Navigate a simulated model of rocket physics, in 2.5D top-down simple controls.
Explore a dynamic marketplace, exploit busts and booms or trade for stability.
Face aggressive enemies and fight in close-quarter Newtonian combat.
Gravity Break is a passion project echoing classics like Escape Velocity (1996), but with modern physics and speed, and a blend of absurdist hitchhiking species of critters. By supporting the game now, you help shape a universe where we learn to understand interplanetary economics and physics through intuition and curiosity.
