Today, Silly Sloth Studios and Kheddo Entertainment and publisher Shadow Owl Studio revealed that their new indie space station management game, Alien Market Simulator, now has an official demo live on PC via Steam. While an exact release date for the early access portion of the game hasn’t been shared, the window of the second quarter of 2025 has been specified.
As the name indicates, Alien Market Simulator transports players into space, tasking them with managing a station on a distant planet after being bailed out by the Intergalactic police. To earn your freedom, you’ll need to make the store profitable while also checking in with your captors and paying your debt.
Earning credits can be done in a number of different ways, including services like snacks and fuel to interstellar travelers. In order to make even more money, spending that money on upgrades and other operation expansions is key.
Alongside managing your station, Alien Market Simulator also offers plenty of challenges and unique situations to overcome. Executing risky black market deals, resolving issues with demanding customers, and making tough choices are all a part of the job in this unique simulator.
