## About Oxygen Not Included

Oxygen Not Included is a colony-survival simulation developed by Klei Entertainment that tasks players with sustaining a crew living inside an asteroid. Managing oxygen, food, temperature, and atmospheric conditions forms the core loop, with physics-simulation systems creating interconnected environmental challenges across a two-dimensional space. Players and reviewers describe the experience as challenging and contemplative, noting that the deep systems reward experimentation and that humor elevates mundane survival tasks. There are no enemies to fight, only the consequences of mismanagement to overcome. Aesthetic customization provides visible progression as bases expand and evolve. The game supports modding, runs verified on Steam Deck, and holds a 96% positive rating from 48,000+ Steam reviews at $24.99 USD.
