Survive, build, and automate in StarRupture, all on your MacBook.

From the creators of Green Hell, StarRupture blends the tension of open-world survival with the complexity of an industrial simulation.

A race against time

The star system is doomed. Watch the countdown to the next “Break,” a devastating wave of heat and radiation that sterilizes the surface. You must build shelters and manage your exposure to survive these cyclical cataclysms.

Smart Industrial Complex

Forget about congested conveyor belts. Master a unique demand-driven logistics system where resources only move when needed. Build networks of drones and drills to meet corporate quotas and unlock new technologies.

Combat & Fortification

Industrial expansion comes at a price: hostility from wildlife. Defend your Base Core against waves of alien enemies by combining shooting mechanics and strategic defense in a 360-degree open environment.

Cooperation Without Borders

Divide up strategic roles such as exploration, logistics, or defense within a squad of four players. Thanks to Shadow PC, platform barriers disappear: instantly join your friends on PC from any Mac (or iPhone and iPad), without any hardware constraints.

Is my image quality reduced compared to a local system? Is my lag increased?

In short: no. We provide enough power to meet your needs based on your chosen plan. Regarding latency, our advanced technology enables smooth usage even at low bandwidth (starting at 15 Mb/s), delivering virtually imperceptible latency.

Does Shadow handle 4K?

Yes, Shadow does not limit the resolution, allowing you to run Windows, your games, and software in 4K UHD. Please note that some games may not support 4K or may experience reduced performance at this resolution. Additionally, higher resolutions require more bandwidth, meaning you'll need a faster and more stable internet connection compared to lower resolutions.

Can I use Shadow with two screens?

Yes, you can activate a second screen directly on the Quick Menu.
