The Last Caretaker Sails Into The Next Fest
Channel 37, a boutique developer based in Finland is pleased to reveal that a demo of science-fiction survival-crafting game The Last Caretaker is available now, and will take part in Steam Next Fest (October 13th - 20th) ahead of its early access launch on November 6th, 2025.
You are the last caretaker, a reawakened machine in a drowned world, nurturing the final human seeds and sending them to the stars to begin again.
Offering a rich narrative to discover across a world shaped by humanity's choices and consequences, you'll uncover, step by step, the story behind your awakening, the echoes of those who came before, and the ultimate question of what it truly means to be human.
The Last Caretaker is a thoughtful take on the survival-crafting genre featuring a modular crafting system and resource-based combat with unrivalled depth.
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: A real, living world. This isn’t decoration, it’s a place that exists. A vast ocean scattered with silent docks, rusting towers, navigation beacons, and forgotten vaults. Every structure has a purpose, every ruin tells a story of what was left behind.
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.
Save Humanity: Nurture the last human seeds, keep the systems alive, and send life back to the stars. Every launch matters. Every success means humanity has one more chance.
