Overview

Project Houston is a game about keeping your ship running and thriving in space. You must maintain your ship, earning as much as you can and meeting the needs of your crew.

Tutorial

Start of with employing an engineer to keep your ship maintained. Before you run out of money, make sure to employ someone as a researcher to earn you money from research. You won't have enough crew for this however, so make sure to hire someone using the hire crew button.

This will take a while, so click the button in the bottom right corner to switch to fast-forward mode.


Once you earn enough, buy some upgrades (⬆️) and some fuel (⚙️) to start moving your ship. Keep it moving, as you earn more money when you are moving, but your ship gets damaged faster. Keep buying more researchers as research is less effective over time because the other companies are doing more research.
