How it feels

A text-based space roguelike where you cautiously navigate a vast, procedurally generated universe, balancing risk and resource management while uncovering alien mysteries.

What players say

Players praise it as a worthy follow-up to Seedship with strong writing and sci-fi atmosphere, but split on the RNG: some find it unfairly punishing while others see it as part of the rogue-lite charm. The game is short, completable in 2-5 hours, leading several to call it overpriced at $10.
