Local Host

Local Host is an very early 2D science-fiction exploration game made by a solo developer.

You play as a small machine whose consciousness is streamed from a damaged mothership called Mother. Her signal gives you control of your body, so exploring means extending that signal into unfamiliar worlds and the abandoned places beneath them.

The current build includes planetary exploration, space travel, combat, equipment, underground signal puzzles, and persistent machine bodies that can be repaired and programmed.

This is a very early version of a much larger idea. The story, worlds, and major systems are still being developed, and many parts are unfinished or experimental. I’m sharing it because some of those ideas have become playable, even though the full journey is still a long way off.

Local Host is an ongoing personal project and will remain in development for some time.
