One wrong delivery can start a war. Smuggle cargo through fractured space in a top-down roguelite where Tetris-style packing meets twin-stick combat and three factions are always watching.

CARGO RUNNER: FACTION FRACTURE — DEMO 
 
 The free demo for Cargo Runner: Faction Fracture. Run cargo through contested 
 space, juggle three rival factions, and try to make it to the warp gate alive 
 — without becoming the cargo yourself. 
 
 --- 
 One wrong delivery can start a war. 
 
 You're a hauler in fractured space. The Federation polices the trade lanes, 
 Pirates feed on what falls off the back of the truck, and the Swine want what 
 nobody understands. Every cargo pod you scoop is a decision: profit or 
 trouble, legal or hot, mystery or markup. The factions remember. 
 
 
 WHAT'S IN THE DEMO 
 
 - 🚀 Twin-stick top-down piloting — fly with WASD, aim with the mouse, click 
 to fire. Reverse thrust, dash, and dock at stations to escape pursuit. 
 - 📦 Tetris-style cargo grid — drag, rotate, and stack cargo pods. Safe slots 
 protect valuable goods; risk slots offer more capacity at the cost of 
 degradation. T-pieces, J-pieces, and animated rare minerals. 
 - 💀 Faction reputation that bites back — Fed inspections, Pirate ambushes, 
 and Swine bargains all swing on your rep. Carry contraband and the wing 
 dispatches. Help a Fed patrol and prices drop. Betray a faction and they 
 remember next run. 
 - ⚡ Six cargo types with strategic tradeoffs — Legal, Ore, Illegal, 
 Contraband, Unknown (which can mutate in your hold), and animated Rare 
 Minerals. Each pays differently at each station. 
 - 🎲 Procedurally generated sectors — every run is a new map. Stations move, 
 asteroid fields shift, hostile encounters scale to your heat. 
 - 🛡️ Roguelite progression — die, take what you've earned, upgrade your ship 
 between runs. Boons mid-run stack into synergies. Ship Certifications buy 
 temporary scan immunity. 
 - 🎮 Full controller support — Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, all 
 configurable. 
 
 WHAT'S IN THE FULL GAME 
 
 The full release expands the run into a three-sector campaign spanning twelve 
 unique sectors — from the lawless Pirate Territory and the Ion Storm Reach to 
 the alien Living Void and the secret Sector 404. More ships to unlock, more 
 crew to hire, modules to install, daily challenges with global leaderboards, 
 and an unfolding faction storyline that branches based on your reputation 
 choices. 
 
 If you like: 
 
 - Tetris-style inventory management 
 - Roguelites that respect your time (15-minute runs) 
 - Faction systems where your choices matter 
 - Pixel-art sci-fi with personality 
 
 You'll feel at home in fractured space.

Cargo Runner: Faction Fracture Demo

One wrong delivery can start a war. Smuggle cargo in a Tetris-style hold. Dodge faction inspections. Betray whoever pays. A pixel-art space rogue-like where every run is one bad jump from total loss.

PACK THE HOLD. PICK YOUR FACTIONS. TRY NOT TO DIE. 
 
Every run starts the same: an empty cargo grid, three faction stations, and a delivery contract that could go very wrong. 
The legal cargo pays. The illegal cargo pays more. The unknown cargo pays the most — if it doesn't mutate before you reach a buyer. 
 
By sector three, you're hauling contraband through a Federation blockade with one shield bank left, a pirate squadron on your tail, and a boss between you and the warp gate. You either extract clean or you lose the run. 
 
▸ TETRIS YOUR CARGO, DODGE INSPECTIONS 
Pack your hold by hand. Safe slots up top, risk slots below. Federation scanners read top-to-bottom — what you stash where decides whether you make the next station or get boarded. 
 
▸ THREE FACTIONS, NO FRIENDS 
Federation, Pirates, Swine. Each pays differently, hates someone else, and remembers what you did last run. Working both sides is the highest paycheck and the fastest way to get hunted. 
 
▸ EVERY SYSTEM IS A TRADEOFF 
Power between shields, weapons, and engines mid-fight. Heat from contraband draws patrols. Mutating cargo can spike or crash in value before you dock. Nothing is free. 
 
 ▸ NINE SHIPS, BRANCHING UPGRADES 
Each ship sets your base hold shape, slot ratio, and special ability. Stack boon synergies between runs to make your loadout 
do something none of the others can. 
 
 ▸ BOSS EVERY SECTOR 
Sector-ending encounters that punish whatever build you've been getting away with. If you only know one strategy, you'll learn three more or die trying. 
 
 ▸ PERMADEATH, PERSISTENT META 
Lose a run, keep your weapons stash and meta upgrades. Each death pushes the next attempt further. 
 
DAILY SEEDED RUNS + GLOBAL LEADERBOARDS 
Same conditions for everyone. Your scoreboard against theirs.
