Indoor Astronaut is a Zurich-based indie studio comprised of ETH graduates. The team is taking part to the SwissGames 2019 delegation to San Francisco with their first game: «Unrailed!»: they will be present at the GDC SwissGames pavilion, Game Connection America and have been invited to showcase their game at Microsoft booth during GDC.

«Unrailed!» is a rogue-like co-op multiplayer game where the players have to work together to build a train track across endless new worlds. On the way, the player encounter its inhabitants, upgrade the train and keep it from derailing.
The game itself originated from the Game Programming Laboratory lecture at the ETH Zürich where it won both the public and jury’s choice awards. After showcases at Gamescom 2018 among the SwissGames delegation, German publisher Daedalic Entertainment has just announced that they will publish the game in June 2019.
