How it feels

A slow-burn journey through a procedurally generated universe, where the silence of space is punctuated by the quiet hum of your ship and the distant glimmer of unknown stars.

What players say

Players describe a retro-style space roguelike with randomized sectors and no handholding. The difficulty is sharp, with fast fuel depletion and brutal encounters, and the tutorial videos are considered essential. Crashes were reported but later patched. Many compare it favorably to Starflight.
