Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 22.71/day in the week to Sep 1 → 39.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
The world you knew is gone.
You awaken as the last active Caretaker, a machine built for one purpose: save humanity. Across a vast ocean covering the ruins of Earth, you must recover human seeds, restore the Lazarus Complex, and prepare the next generation for launch into orbit.
The Last Caretaker is a first-person survival-crafting game about systems, choices, and purpose. Every resource matters. Every structure has a reason to exist. Every success gives humanity one more chance.
Recover human seeds and return them to the Lazarus Complex. Manage their growth, restore memory data, and prepare them for life beyond Earth.
Scavenge abandoned facilities, dismantle wreckage, and recycle materials into tools, weapons, power networks, and essential modules. Restore the machinery needed to keep the mission alive.
Rogue machines, hostile systems and the world itself will push back. Repair and maintain, upgrade your equipment, and protect what remains.
Restore ancient launch infrastructure, chart the ocean, gather resources and memories, and send the humans you raised into orbit. The mission is not survival for its own sake. It is a continuation.
Explore silent Sanctuary docks, Refuel Outposts, Underwater cities, and long-forgotten Seed Vaults. The story is uncovered through places, logs, memories, and the remains of a civilization that tried to outlive its own world.

First game in years that made me truly look forward to gaming. Exploration, looting, machine management, a decent story. This game locks you in for a variety of reasons. You can hop from POI to POI and do quests or you stay and loot an entire area for resources. The premise is also unique and well developed. As for the performance issues others note, I cannot say I have experienced any issues. Using a 5080 and 9900X3D so obviously this is not the majority of players. Getting 350fps 1440p with frame gen. ~100fps without.
It wont start anymore and crashes upon start most of the Times. In the rear occasion it dos not crash it uses enourmous ammounts of my PC Ressources which makes my system overheat very fast, I might not have an High End System but no other Game behaves as bad as this one.

I started gaming on a Commodore Pet lo those many years ago. I moved through the Spectrum, Atari, Amiga and finally into PC gaming on an 8086 IBM PC running PCDOS 2.1 in 4 colour CGA. I have loved many games over the years but this is something special. Its been a very long time since I have played something so enthralling and frankly, addictive!. For sure its not perfect, the controls for example are hardly intuitive and inventory management feels.... clunky. But if your looking for something to play, something to hold your interest that you can disappear into for hours on end, just click buy, don't hesitate, just do it. On the techie said, my PC was very high spec... in 2018. I have no trouble playing this on a 4k screen.
Pretty solid survival/crafting/puzzle game. I'd like to see more challenging enemies.
Впечатляющая игра. Неспешная и атмосферная, очень затягивает. Тут собрали все, что мне нравится - корабль, выживание, исследования, оптимизация и строительство. К слову, это одна из немногих игр, где управление кораблем (на котором ещё и строить можно) ощущается настолько круто и гармонично. И сама система выживания, построенная на энергии, ощущается свежо и необычно. В дополнение ко всему, сюжет здесь построен вокруг великой цели - спасти не собственную задницу, а человечество, отчего играть интереснее. Безусловно ранний доступ накладывает определенный отпечаток - словил пару вылетов в ответственный момент, но больших проблем не заметил. Очень рекомендую поиграть. Может когда-нибудь и кооп добавят, хотя это же ПОСЛЕДНИЙ смотритель)
Juegazo, incluso en early access. Todavía tiene bastantes bugs y necesita optimizar recursos urgentemente, pero se le perdona. Buena historia. Mecánicas originales y adictivas. Diseño y Gráficos de lujo. Muy buena ambientación. Por raro que parezca, da mucho gustico ser un robot, navegar en tu chalupa por el posapocalipsis, e intentar resetear la humanidad a golpe de reciclaje. Voy por la 8ª nueva partida.
The best game I have played in years. It's massive as well and I'm only on my 4th location.
This is one of those games that has a certain feel. It's unique. I love that there is so many different things to do, and even the breaking down of stuff, never feels too Grindy... Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I can't wait to see what else they add...
Fantastic!
Found a cartdrige with the MOD "Second Reality" by Purple Motion. As an active member (TPOLM) of the demoscene during the 90'ies, this just blew my mind of nostalgica and that someone took the decicion to include it in this game. 10/10 :D Will carry the portable cartdrige player to where ever I take the ship. Game is also very addictive. Too addictive. ;)
