The time has come. Phobos Down is now available on Steam Early Access.
Phobos Down has been in development for about three years and now has all major gameplay mechanics implemented. I have already done a lot of fixes and improvements based on player feedback on Itch.io and I'm planning to continue doing that with the help of wider audience here on Steam.
The game has been designed with Steam Deck in mind from the start so it's really good to finally have a version officially installable through Steam.
The initial game build for Steam is identical to the 12th public alpha version of the game. From here on, I'm planning to release updates simultaneously to all platform versions.
