The perfect mobile game! What a very pleasant surprise. The campaign part is very similar to FTL but the battle system is different, but very fun in its own right. But the most surprising is how well the story and lore is developed. Sometimes the dialogue can be weirdly infantile at the wrong moments, but aside from that: this game is definitely the best FTL-like on mobile!

Enjoyable and old-fashioned mix of a text based adventure and a strategy game. The story is so well written, I couldn't stop playing until I was finished. I highly recommend you start your first runs on easy mode, to build up expertise and equipment. Starting on normal is excruciating and will sap your motivation fast. You can always change the difficulty again in between chapters.

This game is insane. I was looking for a game to entertain myself through the long night shifts and I found it. A game that is rather easy to get into, addicting the first time you get to make choices in combat and I have been HEAVILY surprised by the story. It didn't take me more then 1 run to get hooked on the story to start my theories. Love the implementation of "meta-gaming". Don't know what else to say. Buy it, try the game-pass, buy it on pc idk. But do try, totally worth it.
