Unobserved is a tactical space survival game about exploring a hostile galaxy, upgrading your ship, and trying to reclaim planets before the enemy overwhelms the stars.

This is my first prototype as a solo game developer, and I’m really excited,  to share it with the community. It’s still early, imperfect, and very much a work in progress, but it represents a lot of learning, experimentation, and passion.

Being honest, yes, I used a small amount of generative AI during development. I’m a father, I provide for my family, and I’m still chasing my dream of making games. As a solo developer with limited time, AI helped me keep moving forward.

I understand not everyone agrees with that, and I respect it. For me, it was just a tool to support the work, not replace the heart behind it.

In Unobserved, you pilot a lone ship through a dangerous galaxy filled with enemy waves, asteroids, hidden threats, and distant planets waiting to be discovered. Each run is about pushing a little farther, making better decisions, and slowly building a stronger ship through upgrades, pickups, and powerful artifacts.

My goal with this prototype is to explore the feeling of being alone in deep space: surrounded by danger, uncovering the unknown bit by bit, and trying to leave something behind before the galaxy consumes you.
