Hello everyone, with continuous efforts, KEPLERTH has finally gradually improved its functions and became the official version. From April 23, 2018 to May 24, 2022, KEPLERTH has completed more than 30 updates and many things have been improved in this game. After a period of thinking, we decided to cancel the price increase in this official conversion. In this update, Keplerth can still enjoy a 25% discount. Thank you for your continued support.

In this 1.0, we have prepared 3 brand new systems, we hope they can bring you a new experience. Without further ado, let's take a look at what has been updated in 1.0:

New Contents:

1. - Follower system: Replica Gene Module can be obtained by doing quests with villager, and Players can use Replica Incubator in Schip’ s Lab to create Replica that can wear equipment and weapons, Replica can participate in various battles with the player together with the pet and become the player’ s powerful follower.
2. - Shelter Simulation: Newly added Shelter Facilities Workbench, players can create various living and entertainment facilities for accepting survivors and earn money from them.
3. - Monster Invasion: Monsters will build camps near the player’s base and attack the base from time to time. Players can create traps and defensive structures, defend with the inhabitants of armed shelter, destroying enemy camps can end the invasion. Defeating invading monsters has a chance to drop new trinkets and pets with new skills as rewards. If you really don't like this monster invasion, you can shut off monster invasion when you create a map or select a map.
4. - Now Players can make a variety of trap items.

Certainly, this conversion to the official version doesn't mean the end of Keplerth. We still have many functions that we hope to improve and update. The following are the roadmap we plans:
