How it feels

A visual novel with open-world exploration where your choices shape a branching narrative and the feel is one of gradual discovery and strategic decision-making.

What players say

Players praise the unique blend of space trading and visual novel storytelling, with many comparing it favorably to Gazillionaire. The main complaints center on the ironman-only save system requiring full replays for different paths, and a rushed ending that feels empty. Players are split on whether choices significantly impact the story.
