Derelicts in the dark

Space Trench is a premium survival-focused horror experience set aboard a deteriorating spacecraft, combining atmospheric tension with methodical resource management. Players assume the role of a salvage operative tasked with recovering materials while navigating hostile environments. This horror game emphasizes strategic decision-making, environmental awareness, and careful planning as core components of progression and long-term survival.

Scrap, shadows, and survival

Space Trench is a survival horror shooter action game that integrates procedural level design, equipment upgrades, and enemy encounters into a cohesive gameplay loop. Each run introduces new spatial configurations and challenges, maintaining structural variety and unpredictability. Scrap functions as both a currency and a survival resource, reinforcing the game’s risk–reward economy and encouraging thoughtful engagement.

Progression is structured through a workshop system that allows players to customize builds based on preferred playstyles, such as mobility, offense, or control. Environmental hazards and enemy behavior require adaptive tactics and situational awareness. While the absence of cooperative play limits social engagement, the single-player focus supports the game’s isolation-driven horror identity.

A worthy descent

Space Trench succeeds in creating a consistent and immersive survival framework through its interconnected systems of exploration, resource management, and combat. The game effectively balances challenges with accessibility, rewarding persistence and learning over time. It appeals strongly to players who value atmospheric design, mechanical depth, and gradual mastery.
