## About IXION

IXION is a space-station survival builder developed by Bulwark Studios and published by Kasedo Games. Players manage the Tiqqun, a prototype station drifting through the void, as they construct infrastructure, manage resources, and sustain their crew across multiple chapters. The game combines base-building and logistical chains with a narrative that unfolds through exploration. Reviewers highlight the compelling narrative and the way strategic challenges reward careful planning and resource management. Players describe the experience as tense and melancholic, with hull decay creating constant pressure to adapt. Released in 2022 at $34.99, it offers a demanding long-form experience for solo players on PC, with support for Steam Deck at playable settings.
