How it feels

A slow, deliberate tactical RPG where every conversation and combat choice feels weighted by the crushing hopelessness of life aboard a decaying interstellar vessel.

What players say

Players praise the writing and setting but are sharply divided on the difficulty and balance. Combat is punishing and RNG-heavy, especially on the default Underdog mode, while a non-combat playthrough is viable. The branching story and faction system are highlights, though some feel the later chapters are rushed.
