Space Station 14

What is Space Station 14?

Space Station 14 is a free, open-source multiplayer roleplaying game by the Space Wizards Federation and a modern remake of the cult classic Space Station 13. It is played from a 2D top-down perspective aboard a space station, where every round simulates a full shift of the crew.

At the start of a round every player takes on a job aboard the station – from captain to engineers, doctors and security officers all the way to botanists, bartenders or the clown. Each role comes with its own tasks, tools and access rights. At the same time, individual players can secretly act as antagonists and sabotage the shift with their own objectives, which makes suspicion and roleplay the core of the game.

The station itself is simulated in detail: atmosphere, air pressure, power grids, chemistry, fire and hull damage all have an immediate effect on what happens. A single breach can pull an entire department into the vacuum if the crew does not react in time.

Space Station 14 is round-based. When a round ends – for example when the crew evacuates by shuttle – the station is generated anew for the next shift. Your characters, playtimes and the administrative data of the server are kept.

The game is especially popular among players who value roleplay, social dynamics and emergent stories. Space Station 14 is available for free on PC and is played through the official SS14 launcher.
