A tense, slow-burn interactive story where you navigate paranoia and trauma aboard a retro-futuristic spaceship.

What players say

Players praise the retro space opera atmosphere and character writing, but many note the story feels incomplete, setting up a sequel. Opinion splits on pacing: some find the opening boring, others say it picks up. The multiple endings mostly alter how you reach the same final outcome, and a few reviewers report a softlock bug.
