You balance ship systems and fight in first person, constantly deciding whether to retreat for upgrades or push deeper into dangerous space under mounting pressure.

What players say
Players enjoy the tense, adrenaline-filled gameplay of managing a ship from inside the engine room, finding it both simple and deceptively stressful. However, some run into performance issues and a brutal difficulty spike in the second star system, while others hope for more content to flesh out the concept.
