"Space is a terrible place. The kidnapping of my brother and the Captain’s death didn’t make it easier. Thank god, there is Hopper."
Listen to a soundtrack preview while reading this.
You play Eli, a young man stranded on the antique star freighter Lucky Beggar. You hate space yet here you are. Your co-pilot is an AI assistant who understands your text-written commands and helps you to steer the ship, survive heavy space combat or to find the next gas station.
Gameplay Features
- Text freely in natural language with your AI assistant Hopper: let her fly the ship, get her help during combat or ask for a market analysis to maximise your trading profit. She knows a lot - including terrible space jokes.
- A large 2D open-world universe containing numerous solar systems, space stations and ships to discover. Large means astronomical and impossible-to-fly-through. Be grateful if the jump engine works properly.
- Find your kidnapped brother while making interstellar friends and enemies. An over 5-hours long cinematic storyline is waiting for you!
- Enjoy epic space battles with hundreds of ships.
- You decide how you pay the bills for fuel and supplies: be a smart trader, solve rewarding quests or take missions from shady people in the space pub.
- Your ship is a temple. Repair it, get upgrades and don’t fly it into asteroid fields. Those dents stay.
What Else?
- Put on the headphones, fasten your seat belt and relax: one hour of orchestral soundtrack - originally composed just for this game! You can listen to a preview on soundcloud already.
- Modding encouraged! Most of the game’s content is freely changeable by using a beginner-friendly script language and images. Add your own quests, ships or places. Teach new commands to the AI assistant.
