How it feels

A tense, strategic space simulation where you navigate tactical fleet battles against a looming apocalyptic backdrop.

What players say

Players say it is a short, narrative-driven space combat game that channels Wing Commander and Freespace, but lacks ship customization, has frustrating controls with no strafing, and ends on a cliffhanger. The writing and voice acting get mixed reactions, and some players report bugs.
