I can't think of any books like this, but here's a couple video game parallels: Books that have a similar feeling to: -Subnautica -Rain World -Grounded (not technically aliens but close enough) by No-Entry5072
confused-immigrant on December 23, 2025 5:27 pm I’ll be the first to say it: dungeon crawler carl series.
MegaFawna on December 23, 2025 7:01 pm Alien Clay, Shroud, Cage of Souls and Children of Time series has many different worlds described in great detail, all Adrian Tchaikovsky. Embassytown (China Mielville) kinda fits, definitely unique aliens that are well fleshed out. I’m now reading Solaris (Stanislaw Lem) and it seems appropriate too.
