How it feels

A slow, contemplative experience of managing a generation ship's long journey, where hope and dread mingle in the silent void between stars.

What players say

Players agree Dead Reckoning is extremely short and feels unfinished, with many calling the writing AI-generated and inconsistent. Some enjoy the Seedship-like premise and atmosphere, but even fans say the colony phase is rushed and the tech tree is pointless before the game ends.
