Every few hours it reads one number, the account's total follower count, and builds what that many supporters can pay for. You open the site and see the colony as it is today, in 3D, on the real Mars calendar. Nobody signs up and nobody is scraped, and no follower becomes a named character without consent. The simulation is deterministic: the same follower history always produces the same colony and the same story. ### Eras Robots first (under 100 followers), First crew (100), Survival (1,000), Expansion (10,000), Community (100,000), and the Settlement network (500,000 to 1 million). At a million every building is unlocked, and from then on a new settlement opens on the crater rim for every further 10x. ## Features - **The colony in 3D.** 656 unlockable buildings in 16 systems, from power and life support to habitats and science, opened in eras from the first robotic landing to a city. - **Nothing is demolished.** Buildings are placed once and never move or disappear, even if the follower count drops. - **A chronicle.** 40 story arcs, one beat per sol, with supply landings, dust seasons and real Earth–Mars sky events such as oppositions and launch windows. - **Colony directives.** One shared goal at a time, like gaining 500 followers before the cold, which the colony can win or lose. - **Codex, annals, time capsule.** A catalogue of every building, the full history of the colony, and a sealed message that opens at a follower milestone. Anyone can verify the seal. - **Named colonists, by consent.** Comment JOIN under a post of @mars_vale for a colonist with your handle, a job and a home; comment LEAVE to send them home. ## System requirements Minimum: browser A current browser with WebGL, on a desktop or a phone; network An internet connection: the colony updates from the live count ## Questions people ask ### Do I need an account? No. You don't sign up, log in or play: following the Instagram account is enough. The colony reads only the total follower count, through Instagram's official API, so it can't tell who followed. ### What happens if followers drop? The Community number drops too, but nothing gets demolished: construction follows the highest count the colony has reached. ### How do I get a named colonist? Comment JOIN under any post of @mars_vale. Commenting JOIN means you agree to your username being shown. Comment LEAVE to send your colonist home. ### Is it real science? It is a fictional near-future settlement inspired by real Mars science: thin CO₂ air, 0.38 g, dust, radiation and a 24 h 39 m sol. Some later buildings are labelled as speculative. MarsVale is not affiliated with NASA, Meta, SpaceX or any space agency. ## Screenshots ![The live colony by day with its panels: the era card (Survival, era 3 of 6), the community count, buildings 76 of 656, Sol 51, the colony radio and the time-travel bar](https://games.spaceradar.ai/media/marsvale/shot-01.jpg) *The live site on 10 November 2026.

You are a contractor for the Orbital Facilities Dept., posted to a small station where everything floats, everything is physical, and one loose wrench can vent the room. Do what is on the work order, meet the quota, and be in the shuttle when it leaves. Play alone, or with a crew on your local network. - **5** shifts in a work week - **15** kinds of incident - **4** crew, at most ### A shift, start to finish Every shift opens at the bulletin board in the hub: today's jobs, today's quota, a memo from management. 1. **Briefing.** Read the board, spend your wages at the Company Store, clock in. 2. **The jobs.** One or two contracts, each a list of paid tasks: lunch for three, a toilet service, a dead fuse. 3. **Incidents.** A breaker trips, a filter clogs, a battery overheats. Handling them can earn hazard pay. 4. **The shuttle.** At T-2:00, or once the tasks are done, the staff shuttle parks off the outer hatch. Helmet on, cycle the airlock, cross the gap, sit down. 5. **The payslip.** Every task, bonus and deduction, with a retrieval fee for anyone left behind. > All staff are reminded that the big red button is not a shelf. Do not press it, lean on it, or let a wrench drift into it. (Orbital Facilities Dept.) ### Moving and handling There is no floor. You thrust in six directions, brake to a stop, and hold a handrail when the room starts moving without you. Grab what floats past, carry it, throw it: heavy things lag behind you, and every throw pushes you the other way. Kick a colleague. Clip a tether to an orange rail before you open anything that leads outside. ### The station, room by room **The hub** is where shifts start: the bulletin board, the airlock door, the Company Store, and the EMERGENCY PURGE button, which is large, red and where a drifting object would find it. **The galley** runs Lunch Rush. Dock a rations pouch on the rehydrator and stop the fill in the green, heat it in the meal warmer, clip it to a tray with a side and a drink, and serve three crew places. Overfill a pouch and it bursts. The paste goes where the air goes, and the clogged filter is then serviced bolt by bolt. ![The galley's dining side: a table with three clip-on place settings, a hot drinks machine, a board reading 'Days since last incident: 0' and the hatch to the hub](/media/space-station-mayhem/about-galley.jpg) *The galley, dining side. The board counts the days since the last incident.* **Hygiene** holds the head, due for its service: fan to standby, canister emptied, hose reseated, fresh filter, fan on, one test flush. Flush with the canister out, move the hose under pressure or let the fan start backwards, and the result leaves through the ventilation and arrives in the galley. **Engineering** is diagnosis. Read the lamps on the fuse board, find the dead circuit with the probe, switch it off, and seat a fuse of the rating on the plate. Swap the CO2 scrubber cartridge in the right latch order. Bleed the coolant loop without redecorating. The battery bank lives here too, and occasionally catches fire. **The airlock** is two rooms. The suit room keeps the helmets and the tethers. The crew lock runs a staged cycle: pump down, hold, a three-second leak check, then vacuum, with a gauge and five stage lamps. A propped hatch or an unseated seal fails the check. The purge button skips the procedure and takes the hub's air with it. **Docking and the shuttle.** The cargo pod comes in by hand at the docking console: brake it, line it up, touch the ring at under half a metre per second. The staff shuttle has a cabin for four and a DEPART lever. You board it by being inside it. ![Looking out of the open outer hatch at Staff Shuttle 9: its sliding door stands open, marked MIND THE GAP, with the cabin bench inside](/media/space-station-mayhem/about-shuttle.jpg) *The outer hatch, the gap, and Staff Shuttle 9.* ### The work week Shifts add up to a week, Monday to Friday, with a quota that rises every day. Each week is built from a seed, so the jobs, memos, incidents and the store's shelf change, and the Daily Week gives everyone the same five days. Memos bend the rules for a day: Low Power Monday, Audit Day, Filter Shortage. Wages go into a week balance, and the Company Store sells a spare filter, a fuse, a tether extension, breakage insurance. Miss a quota and you receive a written warning and steeper quotas. Miss two and a performance review is scheduled. No shift ends early: Friday's payslip is followed by the verdict card, somewhere between Employee of the Week and Reassigned to Lunar Waste. > Overtime is unpaid. Being left behind is billed. ### Incidents and chain reactions Fifteen kinds of incident are on the roster, from a power flicker to a pass of orbital junk and one visitor nobody can explain. Rooms share power and air, so trouble travels: paste from the galley lights a fan alarm in engineering, and a breaker reset in the wrong order reverses the fan in the head. ### Co-op The station is built for a crew of up to four. A crew plays over a local network with one player hosting, and shares one contract, one shuttle clock and one payslip. The host decides how hard colleagues may shove each other. Online co-op through Steam is in development. Solo, the quota and the incidents scale down to a crew of one. ### Tablet, HUD and controls The screen stays quiet: one objective line with the shuttle clock, a suit ring, one prompt. The rest is on the field tablet: tasks with their pay, a map, the crew, the incident log, the week. Play with keyboard and mouse or a gamepad. Prompts show the glyphs of the device you touched last, and every action can be rebound. ### Comfort and accessibility - Comfort, Standard and Chaos presets for camera shake, lean and flight assist - Field of view, reduced motion, and hold or press-once for timed actions - Subtitles, a text scale and a colour-blind mode that adds shapes and words to colour - Three quality levels, five volume sliders ### Sound Each room has its ambience, the music moves between calm, tension and the payslip, and a PA voice comments on your work in the tone of a form letter. The music and sound effects are original; the PA voice is synthetic. ### Tone and content This is cartoon slapstick. Injury effects are cosmetic and off by default. Gross-out effects are off by default too: the toilet produces blue foam. ### Availability Space Station Mayhem is coming to Steam for Windows. The release date and the price are to be announced, and there is no public build to download yet. Follow the game by email on this page to hear when the store page opens and when it ships. ## Features - **Zero-g movement.** Thrust in six directions, brake, and hold a handrail. Flight assist damps your drift, or switch it off and coast the way Newton intended. - **Hands that push back.** Grab, carry, throw, shove and kick. Heavy things lag behind you, and every throw sends you the other way. - **Real chores, step by step.** Jobs are sequences of physical steps on real controls: switches, latches, valves, bolts, and parts you have to go and fetch. The order matters. - **A station of working rooms.** The hub, the galley, hygiene, engineering and a two-part airlock with a suit room. Each has its own devices, its own job and its own way of going wrong. - **The work week.** Five shifts, Monday to Friday: a rising quota, a daily memo, written warnings and a verdict card at the end. Seeded, with a Daily Week that is the same for everyone. - **Incidents and chain reactions.** Fifteen kinds of incident, and rooms that share power and ventilation, so a mistake in one room becomes an alarm in another. - **The emergency purge.** One big red button. Hold it, or let a giant floating foam wrench find it. The physics decides, and the payslip remembers. - **Local network co-op.** Share the station with a crew over a local network, one player hosting: same contract, same incidents, same payslip. Online co-op through Steam is in development. ## Questions people ask ### What kind of game is Space Station Mayhem? A first-person zero-gravity physics comedy. You work shifts on a small space station for the Orbital Facilities Dept.: cook, plumb, repair, meet the quota and catch the shuttle, while everything you let go of keeps moving. ### Can I play it now? Not yet. There is no public build to download. Follow the game by email on this page to hear when that changes. ### Is it on Steam? It is coming to Steam. The store page is not open yet, so this page carries no Steam link. The email sign-up here sends a message when it opens. ### When does it come out, and what will it cost? Both are to be announced. ### Which platforms? Windows, through Steam. System requirements will be published with the store page. ### Can I play alone? Yes. The quota, the number of jobs per shift and the pace of incidents scale with the size of the crew, down to a crew of one. ### How does co-op work? Over a local network: one player hosts and the others join by address. The station is built for a crew of up to four, and the crew shares one contract, one shuttle clock and one payslip. Online co-op through Steam is in development. ### What is the work week? Five shifts, Monday to Friday, drawn from one seed: one or two jobs a day, a rising quota, a daily memo, and a store between shifts. Friday ends with a verdict card. The Daily Week uses the same seed for everyone that day. Single contracts and a free sandbox are on the menu for practice. ### What happens if I miss the quota? A written warning on the payslip, and later quotas rise by a tenth. A second miss schedules a performance review. The week still runs to Friday's shuttle: no shift ends early. ### Does it support a controller? Yes. Play on a gamepad, with prompts that show the glyphs of the device you touched last, and rebind every action on keyboard and gamepad alike. ### Is there gore or anything gross? It is cartoon slapstick. Injury effects are an optional cosmetic setting and are off by default. Gross-out effects are off by default as well: with them off, the toilet produces blue foam. ### Are the screenshots and the trailer real? Yes. Every screenshot on this page is a frame from the running game. The trailer is in-engine capture with scripted input playback, and its co-op shots were recorded with two game clients on a local network. The narration is a synthetic voice; the music and sound effects are original, generated by the project's own scripts. ## Screenshots ![The galley's device wall with the HUD on: meal trays, the air filter housing, the meal warmer, the hand vacuum and the rehydrator, under the objective line 'Dock a RATIONS pouch on the REHYDRATOR'](https://games.spaceradar.ai/media/space-station-mayhem/shot-galley-lunch-rush.jpg) *Lunch Rush in the galley, task one of six, with the shuttle clock running.* ![The fuse board in engineering with the HUD on: rated fuses for each room's circuit, the breaker panel and the probe, a board reading '3 circuits dead, probe before you pull', and the prompt 'Hold E: pull out hub fuse.
