How it feels

You navigate a branching text adventure from the captain's chair, making choices that drive the story forward in a tense, exploratory journey through unknown space.

What players say

Players describe it as a faithful but flawed adaptation of a 1980s Fighting Fantasy book. Many say it is very short and repetitive because every run starts with the same text and few choices truly matter. Fans of the genre appreciate the presentation, but even they note the writing is weak compared to other entries in the series.
