Planet Centauri is an adventure game developed by Permadeath and released in 2024. It is available on Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is a 4X video game, considered a spiritual sequel to the Civilization series. Set in a science fiction depiction of the 22nd century, the game begins as seven competing ideological factions land on the planet Chiron ("Planet") in the Alpha Centauri star system. As the game progresses, Planet's growing sentience becomes a formidable obstacle to the human colonists.
