Channel37, a boutique developer based in Finland launched the science-fiction survival-crafting game The Last Caretaker into Early Access earlier this month and the response has been out of this world. The team would like to share some stats from the first two weeks and a brand new accolades trailer to celebrate.



Since launching into early access on Steam and Epic Games Store, The Last Caretaker has amassed over 15 million views across TikTok, over three million YouTube views, and 1.2 million hours watched on Twitch - that's nearly 140 years of humanity-saving exploration!

Players that take to the seas to save humanity in this thoughtful survival-crafting adventure tend to stick around. The data shows that the average playtime of The Last Caretaker is over 16 hours and it has since become the 10th most wishlisted game on Steam in the last two weeks.

The team is so thankful for everyone that has joined us on the voyage so far but the mission has just begun. The Last Caretaker's Early Access period will feature regular content updates already planned, including new vehicles, essential new items to build, world expansion, lore and story. Check out the content roadmap below.

You play a reawakened machine in a drowned world, nurturing the final human seeds and sending humans to the stars to begin anew. Offering a rich narrative to discover across a world shaped by humanity's choices and consequences, you'll uncover, step by step, the story behind your awakening, the echoes of those who came before, and the answer to the ultimate question; what it truly means to be human.


Key features include:

• Dynamic Resource Management: Your resources are your means of survival. Make choices between crafting weapons for offense or saving your materials for an easy exit from fearsome mechanical foes.
  
  
• Immersive Worldbuilding: A real, living world. This isn't decoration, it's a place that exists. A vast ocean scattered with silent docks, rusting towers, navigation beacons, and forgotten vaults. Every structure has a purpose, every ruin tells a story of what was left behind.
  
  
• Modular Crafting System: The world is your salvage yard. Dismantle abandoned structures, tear down machinery, and decide what is worth carrying to the recycler to craft weapons, power grids, and tools in a dynamic and deep crafting system.
  
  
• Save Humanity: The Last Caretaker builds upon four years of hand-crafted systems to deliver a world where every action has purpose. Every success means humanity has one more chance.

The Last Caretaker is available in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store priced at $34.99 / €29.99 / £26.99.
