How it feels
A text-based space adventure where you navigate war and alien encounters with a comedic tone, aided by an obnoxious ship computer, and driven entirely by player choices.

What players say
Players say it is a short interactive novel that leans on diplomacy and two distinct paths, pacifist or aggressive. The AI Lloyd is the standout character, while the lack of romance and shallow character growth disappoint some. It draws comparison to Choice of Robots, which fans consider the studio's best.
