An atmospheric science fiction game set on a spaceship

Scavenger SV-4 is a first-person game that combines atmospheric science fiction elements along with simulation gameplay, as well as aspects of roguelike games as well. The game sees the player alone on their ship in orbit around an undiscovered alien planet.

The gameplay takes place entirely from inside a ship with a remote drone supplying the players view of the world outside the ship. And in that respect, it is similar to games like Five Nights at Freddy’s, though with a setting more akin to games like Stellaris.

Become a space scavenger

At its core, the story of Scavenger SV-4 puts the player in the role of a space scavenger who is in orbit around an undiscovered alien planet. They are there to scavenge any useful resources they can from the planet, and they do so with the help of a remote drone that can leave the ship and travel to the planet.

Atmospheric and tense

Scavenger SV-4 does an impressive job of creating a tense atmosphere that can have a player on edge even when nothing is happening. Things may happen, however, as the things the player brings back to the ship may not always be safe, and the player will have to deal with any situations that arise from their scavenged goods.

An interesting game with high replay value

Each playthrough of the game results in a new experience, from the player character’s backstory to the planet they are orbiting. To properly experience what the game has to offer, a player would need to have several playthroughs.
