What is Pax Autocratica?

How the systems fit together

Beginner guide

One loop, not two modes.

  • The colony and each expedition form one loop, not two modes
  • Alternate one base expansion with one expedition
  • Colonies produce people, equipment, and supplies; expeditions return resources and captives

Colony management

Four citizen values, a set of policies, and how citizens answer them.

  • Citizens carry four values: Fear, Happiness, Hunger, and Loyalty
  • Policies - curfews, rationing, healthcare, salaries, indoctrination - push Fear and Loyalty
  • Citizens may respond with gratitude, dissent, or rebellion

FPS combat

First-person raids with your squad: depth against safety, every run.

  • Fight alongside your soldiers in first person
  • Capture weakened enemies to feed the prison system back home
  • Bring soldiers home: pressing on offers more, returning safely banks it

Cores & builds

Cores rewrite how a run fights, and only for that run.

  • Weapon cores reshape how your gun fires
  • Combo cores create interactions between core series
  • Cores belong to the run; the colony keeps extracted resources

Frequently asked questions

What kind of game is Pax Autocratica?

It is a colony sim combined with a first-person roguelite, developed by Multiverse for PC via Steam in Early Access.

Is Pax Autocratica single-player?

Yes. Single-player is the only mode now; the developers name co-op as a major feature they plan to build during Early Access.

Is there a free demo or prologue?

Yes. A free standalone Pax Autocratica: Prologue is on Steam and covers the first sector, Elysia, plus a boss battle. The main store page also hosts a demo, and the developers confirmed both have carried the same version since Dec 1, 2025.

How much does Pax Autocratica cost?

The Early Access price is $29.99 USD base with a 17% launch discount through Aug 24, 2026 (about $24.89). In China the base price is ¥106: the developers accidentally adjusted it from the announced ¥108 and published a compensation note for buyers at the old price.

Does the game support Chinese?

Yes. Steam lists five languages (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, French, and German) with interface and subtitles in each; full audio is English only. The official Chinese title is 暗星铁律, and the developers also run an official QQ group (792301603).

Is Pax Autocratica related to Earth From Another Sun?

Yes, it is a rework of it. On Jun 25, 2025 the developers announced EFAS would become Pax Autocratica, removing MMO systems, PvP, and guilds, keeping co-op, and adding offline play with pausing.

What engine does Pax Autocratica use?

Unity. The developers referenced the engine directly in their Oct 9, 2025 security announcement about patching and recompiling the demo against Unity CVE-2025-59489.

The game crashes or runs poorly. What do the developers recommend?

The official three steps: verify the game files in Steam (Library > Properties > Installed Files), turn off Super Resolution (DLSS), and turn off Frame Generation. If the problem persists, bring it to the official Discord for individual follow-up.

Is there a Mac or Linux version?

No. The Steam system requirements list Windows 10 64-bit only, with 40 GB of storage.

How do I get support or send feedback?

The developers' support page points to their official Discord, where a producer or game designer checks the chat every day; email contact@multiverseinc.com is the alternative.

Where can I play Pax Autocratica?

Pax Autocratica is available on Steam.

Are promo codes available?

None available. Across the 208 official announcements posted through Aug 17, 2026 there is no code or promo system, and the developers warn that fake sites and payment scams exist; treat paxautocratica.com as the only official site.

Where can I find official links?
