How to play
Gather resources, upgrade your gear, explore the universe!
Story
Lost in the vastness of space, your spaceship lies broken after colliding with a storm of asteroids. With no clear idea where you are or how to get back home, your main goal is simple: survive. Your oxygen is running out, so you must gather resources from the wreckage to stay alive.
As you scavenge for supplies, a looming shadow in the distance suggests a potential threat. Time is running out. What will become of you? Can you keep your sanity in the face of the unknown?
