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.

67 hours review in Short version: -- WOW -- Review over. ;-) ...fine. I don't usually write reviews. But i also don't usually sink >67 hours into one game within this short amount of time. Yet here we are, and [h1]I blame Channel37 entirely[/h1]... Thank you, honestly! :-) [h3]The premise: [/h3] you're a robot. Everyone is dead. Your job is to babysit humanity's leftovers in a jar while the ocean slowly digests what's left of Earth. Deeply bleak. Then you spend four hours redesigning your boat because a storage crate sits 20cm too far to the left, and suddenly it's 3am and you have opinions about scrap metal. [h3]The good:[/h3] An absurd amount of things to find, dismantle, and turn into marginally better things Genuinely few bugs for Early Access. I'm as surprised as you are, good Job Channel37! Every site looks like it wants to tell you a story. Most of them actually do — and the ones that don't are hiding something better. [h3]The honest bits:[/h3] The combat music is convinced I'm fighting for my life while I quietly unscrew a fence Performance occasionally remembers it's Early Access I have not thought about the human seeds in a while. I think they're fine..... Probably [h3]The wishlist:[/h3] 1. MULTIPLAYER. Co-op, please. Yes, I'm aware the entire game is about being the last one left. I would like to be the last one left ... with a friend. I have made peace with the contradiction. But have you seen my crate alignment? Someone needs to witness this. :-))) 2. Rogue bipeds. The current enemy roster is "tiny and annoying" and "oh god, oh god, oh god". I'd like something in the middle. Something that walks upright, looks me in the optical sensor, and reminds me we came off the same assembly line. 3. Something, anything, below the surface. The ocean is most of this world and currently most of it is a infitne deep screensaver. Fine a few sunken spots are great, but fill the rest, please. <3 4. The sharks. Right now they are swimming decoration. Beautiful. Menacing. Completely uninterested in me. Two ways to fix this, take your pick: 4.1 Fewer sharks, but they aggro the boat. Give me a reason to build defenses. (i need Guns and spikes on the boat :) ) 4.2 Same amount of sharks, but they aggro the boat. :-) right now they are basically swimming decoration, which is kind of sad, that your ass is not whooped on a regular basis by a fkn laz0r shark :-) (maybe jonah can also somehow help to defend the boat) Would I recommend it? --> I'm a machine built for one purpose, and apparently that purpose is playing this game. *mic drop*
Really a great base to build from. Last time I stopped it was because I am playing on older hardware and it was running terribly but is running better now on same hardware. Need to save to be able to upgrade my PC to really give it a best shot for experience.

Semplicemente un capolavoro
I'm not the type of people who would usually write a review .. but this game is one of the rare gems on steam. for a game that still in early access .. they made an amazing game .. Simple and smart .. it doesnt have much of of intense fights .. but enough to keep ur game interesting the surviving challenges are just good without being a real burden .. I loved this game .. Yet, what I would love to see more updates and contents ..why not allow a coop campaign .. either 2-4 players coop will add much fun to the game ..yes I know the game name is last caretaker .. Also, It would be nice if we could add more ships to upgrade .. a bigger ship so the players can build more .. Ship carrying capacity would be fun and get players to build more camps to store their items .. Lastly, some tp points would help lazy players like me from spending hours traveling back and forth " cost is fuel ofc" .. thnx for the great game
the game is good, very fun but it does need some optimizing as I have a beefy computer and i'm only getting 75 fps
Muito viciante.
Стоит внимания, интересная идея и сюжет, 10 ночных червей из 10-ти
un jeu aussi bien optimisé qu'un 1.2 L puretech . si vous avez une 5070 et 128 Giga de ram vous pourrez jouer en qualité moyenne en 1080P ... a 40 fps . ce qui est assez étrange pour un jeu qui se compose d'un océan, d'un bateau et … c'est tout ! j'ai mis tout les paramètres au plus bas ( avec un rendu a 40 % soit du 480p et je tourne entre 5 et 30 fps ( si je regarde le ciel )) enfin bref quand aujourd'hui une 1050 et 16 go de ram font tourner cyberpunk on peut dire que sortir un jeu aussi pourri techniquement parlant devrait être illégal au même titre que vendre des sacs en plastique au rayon jouets bébés . et c'est dommage c'est un bon jeu indé sinon, mais c'est imbuvable une opti pareille . le problème est connu et trèèèèès largement relaté par toute la commu de joueurs sauf quelques exceptions qui on un jeu qui tourne a peu près . d'ailleur il faut voir la spec minimale demendée qui est deja bien abusé quand on voit la tronche du jeu qui sans être moche a des graphismes ok tier en vrai . ho et votre perso se déplace très bien mais ne sait rien utiliser , les armes sont aléatoires . le mappage des touches dégueulasse vous tombez des échelles si vous osez prendre un objet avec vous ( ma seule mort est due a ça les ennemis etant au niveau des armes fournies : inoffensifs ) bref une early qui sert juste a vendre un jeu qui ne devrait même pas sorti dans un état pareil comme pleins d'autres . achetez le pour 5 euros max et si vous avez la config pour hogwart légacy en 4k 120 . et ça devrait passer
Thanks for making this! 49 jpurs in an no plans of stopping!I would rave more but my cat i attacking the key board while Iam trying to explain how awesome this is.
