Hull Rupture FAQ

Hull Rupture is scheduled for November 4, 2026 on PC via Steam. The date was announced by Konfa Games on September 14, 2026 and is still displayed on the Steam store page. Platforms listed are Windows, macOS and Linux.

The price has not been announced as of October 30, 2026. The demo is free, and no pre-order price is listed on the Steam page.

No. The November 4, 2026 release is presented as the full launch, not an early access debut. The demo is a separate free preview.

No Game Pass launch has been announced. The game is a Steam release published by tinyBuild, with no subscription service tie-in confirmed.

Yes. A free demo is available on Steam as a separate app (4809240). It launched on June 15, 2026 and includes a tutorial, Classic mode, one ship and a 20-wave run ending in a final boss.

No console or mobile version has been announced. Steam currently lists Windows, macOS and Linux only. APK download pages claiming otherwise are not official.

There is no official Steam Deck Verified rating at the time of writing. A Linux build exists, and the demo can be tried through Steam, but compatibility may vary.

The full game currently lists English and Russian on Steam. The demo supports eleven interface languages, including French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Polish. The final language list may change at launch.

You play as Despot, an AI commanding humanity’s last warship after Earth is destroyed. You manage production modules, treat humans as a resource and defend the ship from alien boarding waves for 20 waves while travelling toward the alien homeworld.

Real time. Production, worker movement, combat and travel all happen simultaneously. You can pause and change game speed, but combat does not stop the economy.

It shares the Despot universe and dark humor with Despot’s Game, and the side-view colony management can feel like Fallout Shelter. The key difference is that combat happens on the hull in real time while production continues inside.

A Classic run is built around surviving 20 waves and defeating a final boss. Demo players reported runs ranging from under an hour to several hours, depending on difficulty, route and experience.

No. Steam lists single-player only, with Steam Cloud and Family Sharing support. There is no co-op or PvP mode announced.

Both, plus base management. You build production chains inside a spaceship, expand its hull, and defend it from alien boarding waves. Runs are structured around 20 waves with roguelite unlocks and random events.

Buy themed module boxes in the post-battle shop, or assign humans to the Despot’s Chamber for slow, free random kits. Sell unused kits for tokens. Demolishing a built module refunds resources but not the kit.

Only the Izumo has been publicly detailed: a small, maneuverable, low-mass ship built from salvaged parts. The other two hulls are not fully revealed, so a definitive tier list is not possible yet.

In Cursed mode you gain no money, but you can buy things by spending humans as currency instead. It is a high-variance economy mode built around the game’s central joke: people are a resource.

Classic is the core experience and the best starting point. Try it in the demo before experimenting with Conquest, Cursed or the lower-randomness modes.

The store advertises four difficulty levels. The demo includes a base difficulty, and higher difficulties add guarded locations and extra waves. Impossible is unlocked after completing a campaign in another mode.

Yes. The demo’s Endless mode is being reworked into a separate mode with its own settings at release, rather than a continuation of Classic. The developer has acknowledged balance and performance issues after wave 40.

Steam has not listed achievements for the game at the time of writing. The demo does not expose a stats page. Check the store page after launch for the final achievement list.

No Steam Workshop or mod support has been announced. The store lists single-player, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing only.

Windows 10 21H1 or newer, an Intel i7-8700 or Ryzen 1600, 8 GB RAM, a GTX 670 or HD 7970, DirectX 11 and 2 GB of storage. macOS and Linux have equivalent minimums. Recommended specs are not published.

Konfa Games has not announced save transfer from the demo to the full release. Treat demo progress as practice rather than a head start, and check official channels closer to launch.

The developer has acknowledged performance slowdowns after wave 40 in Endless mode and says the mode is being optimized separately for release. General performance work is ongoing.
