About

You captain a joint-humanity spaceship tasked with charting the cosmos and forging ties with alien species. Your mission is to scavenge rare artifacts, advanced tech, and other curios from distant worlds to solve Earth's mounting crises. Each decision shapes diplomatic relations and resource availability. Manage crew needs, allocate ship systems, and balance risky ventures against survival. Exploration is turn-based, with strategic pauses for base upgrades and research. Released in 2016, the game's focus on resource scarcity and branching choices keeps it engaging for those seeking a cerebral space sim. The blend of hard sci-fi and quirky alien encounters offers a niche but dedicated audience. Available on PC and Linux, it's a compact experience for players who enjoy strategic depth over action.
