Welcome to Exsol
Your Adventure in the Depths of the Asteroid Belt

Welcome to Exsol, the city-building game that catapults you into the exciting future of space colonization. You take on the role of a manager and lead the first mining station in the asteroid belt. Your mission: to build a stable supply chain for the further settlement of the solar system. In a hostile but lucrative environment, you have to build your base, manage your team, and process incoming supply requests. As a manager of the Exsol company, you start with limited resources and a small crew. Only with ingenuity and determination will you be able to overcome the challenges that await you.

Every one of your decisions counts: you have to find a balance between the well-being of your crew and the goals of the company. Are you going to exploit your workers in exchange for rapid expansion? Which resources will you use to build your station, and which will you send back to Earth? Will you cooperate with other companies or fight against your competitors? And what risks are you willing to take when every mistake can be fatal?

Hex-based architecture
Build Your Station

Take command of a new space station with only a small crew and minimal resources. At the beginning your survival depends on supplies from Earth, so you'll have to quickly find your footing and start expanding. Mine valuable ores, refine them into materials, and craft the tools you need to build your station.

The station is made of hexagonal sectors that you must power and maintain. Each sector can hold up to six rooms of various sizes. Bigger rooms offer greater efficiency but require additional materials to build and more oxygen to supply. Expand by unlocking new sectors and buildings to maximize your production. Just remember that a bigger station needs a solid infrastructure to survive.

Strategically place supply corridors and gates to shorten travel times, but be aware that every choice costs valuable space. The company will eventually expect returns. Will you ship your refined goods back to Earth or invest them in other stations emerging in the asteroid belt?

In Exsol, you must constantly balance your station's needs with the company's demands and the larger goals of expansion. Are you ready for the challenge?

Sci-fi aesthetics
Dive into a Unique World

Exsol combines hard sci-fi themes with a charming low-poly style. Experience a visually appealing world full of exciting moments. Watch your station grow from a new, pristine base to a weathered industrial hub. At the start, sectors and rooms will look new and shiny. But in time, they will show the typical signs of wear and tear. It's up to you whether you fight the signs of decay or embrace the well-worn look of a long-running operation.

Your crew is made up of unique characters, each with their own skills and needs. Observe them as they adapt to the challenges of low gravity and life in the unforgiving vacuum of space. Witness them becoming part of a close-knit group of people living under the most difficult conditions. You’ll see them at their daily work, always just a few inches of metal and polymers away from the deadly void.

Make tough decisions, overcome crises, and see how your actions affect your crew and your future within the Exsol company. Write your own story in the fight for survival and the highest possible profit.
