ATMOSFAR is a survival exploration game set across a world of floating islands and airborne ecosystems on a planet called Tycos. Players take on the role of survivors at humanity's final outpost, scavenging scrap from the landscape and engineering flying vessels to navigate skies filled with alien creatures and treacherous weather.
Two distinct aircraft define the experience. The Wasp is a nimble vessel capable of zipping through open air or hovering in place, built across four classes that each serve a different purpose. The Utility Wasp deploys a foldable camp, the Cargo Wasp airlifts heavy scrap, the Scout Wasp pushes into uncharted terrain, and the Fighter Wasp stuns hostile creatures. Choosing the right class for the situation is central to how players approach the world. The Cloud Cruiser operates on an entirely different scale — a massive, slow-moving mobile airbase that functions as a flying home. It houses a hangar for storing Wasps and their fuel, a lounge area players can furnish, and a helm for direct piloting. Both vessels can be upgraded with swappable engine parts, hover sections, hulls, attachables, decals and paint jobs.
Survival hinges on resource management. A backpack-mounted life support system powers both the player and their tools, while every machine in the fleet demands fuel, maintenance and repair. Scrap extracted from the environment gets broken down into individual parts and reconverted into new items, tools, modules and consumables. With the right materials, players can upgrade modules and sections for their vessels to handle increasingly demanding expeditions.
The planet itself pushes back. Tycos hosts alien flora spread across lush biomes, with looming creatures shaped by the airborne nature of this world. Weather shifts from calm winds to howling jet streams and thunderous rainstorms, forcing players to sharpen their piloting or find cover when conditions turn hostile. Day and night cycles compound the danger.
Up to four players can tackle ATMOSFAR together in cooperative multiplayer, sharing a Cloud Cruiser they collectively build and manage. Squadmates can hitch rides on each other's Wasps, fly in formation or camp out as a group.
