What is Once Human?
Once Human is set in a post-apocalyptic world infested by an alien creature known as Stardust, where humanity, animals, and plants have been greatly affected, as a meta-human who has somehow survived the contamination, you can harness Stardust’s power. Players have the choice to embark on this world-saving journey alone or call their friends for help. Uncovering the truth will be a challenging and lengthy process; players must survive in the wilderness, engage with some of the most dangerous monsters, customize weapons, and establish their territory.
