A downloadable game for Windows

CARGO is a text-based space trading and survival simulator where you navigate a  galaxy as a merchant captain of a modular cargo hauler. Your goal is to survive and thrive by trading commodities, managing a ship, and making critical decisions that impact local economies, technological developments, and emerging civilizations.

The game offers an intricate, dynamic experience where every playthrough is unique. You'll encounter complex challenges like market fluctuations, random events such as pirate attacks, synthetic civilization uprisings, passenger transport missions, and resource management challenges like bugrat infestations and xenopest threats. Your success depends on strategic trading, research investments, ship upgrades, and adaptive decision-making in an unpredictable cosmic ecosystem.
