How it feels
A tense, humorous space odyssey where every decision determines who lives or dies.

What players say
Players compare it to FTL but stress it is a classic point-and-click adventure, not a roguelike. It splits the audience: some praise the branching narrative and multiple endings, while others find the puzzles illogical and the tone inconsistently silly.
