Evaluation

Out There: Oceans of Time launched on May 26, 2022. Following launch, the developer released a series of feature patches through mid-2022 addressing performance, controls, and quality-of-life improvements. This work culminated in the major Redshift update on October 13, 2022, which the store description now highlights as "the definitive Out There: Oceans of Time experience." The Redshift update was a substantial overhaul — it introduced a new oxygen management system, new class skills, consumable items, new expedition maps, new exploration mechanics, a multiple-endings save system, and significant rebalancing across the board. There is only one major content release on record (Redshift), and no developer communications have appeared after October 13, 2022 — silence that has now extended to over three and a half years. There are no unreleased DLC items in the store listing (all three DLC entries — the soundtrack, wallpapers, and deluxe skins — shipped on launch day). No roadmap, future content announcement, or developer statement about ongoing plans has been posted. The store description's framing of Redshift as the "definitive" experience, combined with the complete absence of any communication since that update, strongly indicates that development concluded with the Redshift update in October 2022.

The Redshift update launched on October 13, 2022 — the only major content update since launch and the last developer communication on record.

About this game



The cosmos is calling.
Take the helm of an interstellar expedition of discovery spanning the vast and vibrant infinity of space. The definitive Out There: Oceans of Time experience is available now, with the new Redshift Update.

  • Overall difficulty balancing

The successor to the award-winning Out There, Oceans of Time blends resource management and interactive fiction for a space survival epic where death is one wrong decision away.

As Commander Nyx, explore a vast galaxy that is different every time you play, as you search for the Archon; a cosmic villain set on dominating the civilisations of the galaxy.

Encounter other strange lifeforms and learn to communicate, trade, and conduct diplomacy as you build a coalition of allies in your mission to find the Archon.

Recruit new members from the alien races you cross paths with, and build a team capable of traversing the cosmos. Manage your crew, your ship and its systems; the mission’s success is down to your decisions as Commander.

Experience a deep, branching narrative written by FibreTigre, dialogue by Christos Gage (Daredevil (Netflix, 2015), Spider-Man (Insomniac, Sony, 2018)) and beautiful interactive cutscenes illustrated by renowned artist Benjamin Carré (Transformers: Age of Extinction, Alone in the Dark).

Out There: Oceans of Time is developed by Mi-Clos Studio, the creators of Out There and Sigma Theory.
