Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 1

About

Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 1 puts you in the shoes of a student at a fledgling space academy. A research station has been destroyed and the only survivor is a girl saved by a starship and its captain. Your time is spent exploring the Quicksilver’s halls, piecing together logs and talking to crew members to figure out what happened. The gameplay leans into dialogue trees and environmental puzzles with a focus on figuring out the mystery through scattered clues and character interactions. The game’s tight narrative and atmospheric setting earn it a 78 on Metacritic with many praising its moody visuals and engaging cast. Some players found the pacing slow and the puzzles rudimentary but most agree the story’s emotional beats land well. At around six hours, it’s a brief but polished entry in the point-and-click genre with a strong emphasis on mystery.
