CANBERRA, Australia — 27 August 2026 — Independent Australian studio Space Dragon Games has released Null and Void into Early Access on Steam.
Null and Void is a darkly satirical blend of roguelike deckbuilding and tower defence set in a retrofuturist corporate dystopia. Players become a Resource Acquisition Technician(R.A.T) for VEXcorp, travelling between dangerous interdimensional deposits in the hope of extracting enough valuable material to clear their debt.
Each run challenges players to draft a deck of towers, structures, upgrades and tech cards, then use them to construct a defensive network around their mining rig. Conveyors route unstable resources through the player’s defences, while unusual card combinations can transform how each mining operation unfolds.
Beyond surviving individual encounters, players must chart a route through a branching campaign, weighing safer contracts against more profitable—and considerably more dangerous—opportunities. The people encountered along the way remember decisions made during previous runs, allowing relationships and storylines to evolve across repeated attempts.
“We wanted failure to move the story forward, rather than simply resetting the board,” said Trev Clift, co-founder and director of Space Dragon Games. “Null and Void is built around experimenting with strange combinations, learning more about the people trapped inside VEXcorp’s system and gradually uncovering what the company is really doing. Early Access gives us the opportunity to develop the rest of that story alongside the people playing it.”
Early Access features include:
- A complete, playable roguelike campaign loop
- Deckbuilding across towers, structures, technology and upgrades
- Tower defence encounters built around conveyors and resource processing
- A branching campaign map filled with battles, events and difficult decisions
- Characters who remember the player’s actions across multiple runs
- 13 maps, 66 cards and 20 characters
- The complete first part of the game’s evolving story
Space Dragon Games expects Null and Void to remain in Early Access for approximately six to twelve months. Development will expand the game with additional maps, locations, cards, towers, structures, characters, encounters and story content. Community feedback will help determine which combinations need attention, which characters receive further development and where additional content can make runs more interesting.
Null and Void is available now in Early Access for Windows PC through Steam.
