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.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 17 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,502 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.
Genres
Sums Steam only; Epic, Xbox publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.
Updates
Build ids and update times come straight from Steam's PICS — the same source SteamDB reads. Patch history grows as we record new builds.

fun so far. still in the beginning. if you like resource grinding games its fun. the waves and storms are scary. very good story telling, very lonely so far
It is fun at first but after some time and exploring, things get limited. There are several bugs that will cause missions to be put on pause or even frustrate you that you can't complete them. It is fun for about 30 hours, but after that things start getting extremely complex and building and getting what you need takes more time than anything. I'll still test play, but everything is getting redundant.

I will update this review after release --- Please, I beg you Channel37, do NOT add DEI to this beautiful game. There's plenty enough games to appease that mob and so many gaming houses are gone as a result. This new water-soaked game is a joy to play and it's not even out yet, it's amazing and just getting better every update. The world map is growing and I hope they can keep expanding the open world. Maybe a small 'barge' to tow would help with moving materials and fuels - plus an option to build a helipad on it. I have put nearly 200 hours in and have not started the launch missions, nor grown the humans, only the seed pods and all repairs, pods/power/water/foods/memories are all completed, including a full restore of the Lazarus complex and it's now time for me to stop. So many other games to catch up on and the final release of this one will be a nice fresh start with a little hindsight and knowledge :)
This game has me hooked. I like survival/exploration/crafting games and this one does excellent at all of it. For early access, it has a ton of content. If you like this genre, i totally recommend this game. To the devs; well done!
This game is the best game!!!!!
Yes, with caveats. In the devs own words, this is a game about distance and systems. In other words... fetch quests and figuring out the somewhat repetitive puzzles to get resources to power systems to bring platforms back online and save humanity??? And the combat feels more like pest control with the exception of the turret balls. To be fair, there are some creative ideas here in terms of enemy type, but they could stand to be a bit more fleshed out. Oh and, flame throwers are god in this game. It's not bad, just be prepared for some things to be grindy for the sake of it.
Good game ruined by the human creation mechanic (recipes). I have enjoyed the game but have stopped due to this part of the game. I may return once this process has been updated or changed.
This is an addicting game and very enjoyable.
This game where is in early access is amazing. I spend hours of fun in this game
bellissimo gioco mista piacendo tantissimo, lo consiglio tanto. se mi posso permettere io migliorerei alcune cose. - esplorare di piu i fondali tipo subnautica. - avere anche delle piattaforme piu grandi da esplorare per la terra ferma, c'e davvero troppa acqua in sto gioco, isole piu grandi non sarebbe male. -ottimizzarlo leggermente di piu su alcuni punti gli fps calano
