How it feels

A chatty, tongue-in-cheek bureaucratic puzzle where you navigate spaceship office politics with a cartoonish, retro-futuristic tone.

What players say

Players call it a sharp Star Trek parody with a full season's worth of branching episodes. The highlight is getting to know the crew over time as past choices get referenced. You only get one action at each turning point, forcing thoughtful use of limited resources.
