Developer Channel 37 has dated its ocean bound survival crafting adventure The Last Caretaker for early access on 6 November 2025. The game will be available on Steam and the Epic Games Store for PC at 34.99 USD, 29.99 EUR, 26.99 GBP, or local equivalent.
Set across a flooded world, you play as the last caretaker, a reawakened machine charged with preserving humanity’s future. Your mission is to recover and nurture human seed stock from a desolate Earth, then launch it toward the last settlement in space. The studio is pitching a narrative led approach that gradually reveals why you were revived, what happened to those who came before, and where the line between machine and human begins to blur.
Key systems highlighted by Channel 37 include:
Dynamic Resource Management: Your resources are your means of survival. Make choices between crafting weapons for offense or saving your materials for an easy exit from fearsome mechanical foes.
Immersive Worldbuilding: Explore a vast ocean world filled with abandoned structures, mysterious laboratories, and humanity’s last remaining harbours.
Crafting & Recycling: The world is your salvage yard. Dismantle abandoned structures, tear down machinery, and decide what is worth carrying to the recycler to craft weapons, power grids, and tools in a dynamic and deep crafting system.
