How it feels

A relaxed, methodical business-building adventure where you manage trade and exploration across planets.

What players say

Players praise the AI-driven trading and role-playing as a fresh take on space sims, but nearly all agree the 'builder' tag is misleading, there is no planet construction. Opinions split on the AI: some find it novel and immersive, others call it stiff and gimmicky. Long sessions risk tedium from repetitive haggling and grinding.
