How it feels
A darkly funny social simulation where you juggle networking, career climbing, and survival on a space station while disaster looms.

What players say
Players agree it is a clever Star Trek parody and social media satire, but opinions split on whether the deliberate difficulty and lack of polish hurt or help. Many say it is a good concept with depth, yet others note achievements are broken and development was abandoned. It is stressful for some, but fun for those who enjoy drama and roguelike elements.
