Petulantia v0.4 (English, German)

Petulantia drops you into a grim sci-fi setting where humanity is fleeing Earth after losing a war against their own machines. The whole setup feels like Battlestar Galactica meets Top Gun, which honestly works pretty well.

You follow Commander Viktor Bratt, an old fighter pilot stuck training a bunch of problem cadets on a beat-up training ship. These aren’t your typical academy recruits either – they got shipped off to the Petulantia because the regular schools couldn’t handle them. The whole “turning misfits into warriors while running from killer robots” angle gives it some solid drama.

The game’s still in early development but the premise is strong. If you’re into military sci-fi stories with character development, this one’s worth keeping an eye on. Just don’t expect it to be finished anytime soon.
