Stranded in Strife Demo
A downloadable game for Windows
You are Wax, a robot stranded on an uncharted planet.

You came here in pursuit of a traitor... only for an unknown force to shoot both your ships and theirs out of the sky.
Now you have
- No working spaceship
- No crew
- No clue where the enemy is
All you have is your claw, your scanner, and your laser cannon.
Explore the planet. Search for a way to repair your ship. Survive the hidden dangers of the wilderness. Stay vigilant – the enemy is out there... somewhere.

A retro-themed, isometric adventure game featuring:
- the first few missions
- puzzles and exploration
- light turn-based combat
- a nostalgic 16-bit era soundtrack
