Overview
You are the Commander, prematurely thawed from cryo-sleep and dumped into the bridge of humanity's last starship. With most of Earth's finest minds still frozen, a half-broken AI (A.R.K.) at your side, and resources dwindling by the minute, you must guide your desperate crew through a hostile galaxy in search of a new home.
Juggle scarce supplies, respond to unpredictable events, and make gut-wrenching decisions as you chart a course through star systems teeming with danger, mystery, and darkly comedic disaster. Assign roles, repair systems, launch risky ground ops, and decide who's worth saving... or sacrificing.
Every button press could be the difference between survival and extinction. Humanity's last hope is in your hands... and your hands are probably shaking.
