What it is

Long Orbit is a first-person space game. You are an engineer, alone, on a small maintenance ship called the Tern, and the only other mind aboard is Rivet, who keeps the ship and has opinions about how you do. Earth is gone. What is left is Sol, and it is yours to learn: fly it, land on it, and work out what can still be used.

It is an early build, rebuilt from a clean slate in November 2026, and it changes phase by phase. It plays with a keyboard and mouse, so it wants a computer.

What is in it

The shape of it.

One person, one ship

No crew to manage and no story told at you. You name yourself, and the Tern is the only home you have.

Rivet

The ship's servant mind keeps its own rounds and answers when you ask. It is the only company aboard.

Sol first

Fly the system, land where you can, and learn it before the game opens wider.

Slow on purpose

No timers asking you to hurry. It is built to be played at your own pace.
