At the dawn of the interstellar era, humanity and its machine workforce have expanded into a remote stellar neighbourhood, Stellar Reach challenges players to explore, expand, exploit and exterminate across a fully 3D expanse of star systems. Competing factions will vie for control by mastering military power, creating a prosperous utopia, developing a booming industry, growing immense wealth, and harvesting planets of their resources - each with their own tech trees and strategic paths.


To reign victorious against your enemies, Stellar Reach offers three distinct paths to victory, each demanding unique strategies and presenting its own challenges. You may choose to conquer through overwhelming military force, assembling powerful fleets to decimate rivals and seize control of vital star systems. Alternatively, pursue prosperity by putting the well-being of your citizens front and centre, transforming a fragile colony into a flourishing civilisation of culture and politics. Or, embrace the relentless efficiency of your machine-run dominion, harnessing cutting-edge technology to an industrial superpower across the stars.


Stelleas is a one-man development studio founded by James Miller, a former AAA developer who decided to enter the world of indie game development after over 14 years in the industry. Discussing the announcement of Stellar Reach, James Miller said: "Stellar Reach entered development over 10 years ago. Since then, the game has grown beyond its original vision and is crafted with more depth and care than I originally expected for it. And, I’ve grown with it. A decade of hard work, experience, mistakes, and passion has finally brought this game to the point of being my first independent title, something many of us developers wish for. It’s strange and wonderful seeing it come together and wondering how it will be received. It’ll be stranger still when it’s finished."


Stellar Reach launches on PC via Steam in 2025. Please contact Ethan at ethan@gameifyouare.com for more information, assets or if you’d be interested in interviewing the developer.
