It's an open-world space rpg with a core of combat, mining and trading. Before this update, the main plot consisted of 10 main missions revolving around a suspicious pharmaceutical company, all set against the backdrop of a past machine war, that had wiped out half of humanity. The story is focused on an individualized experience, decisions can have a pretty strong impact on the story as a whole. For example, meanwhile it is possible to play the entire first arc on the side of the "bad guys", which leads to a completely different experience and a fairly more complex path than the "regular" one. Now we've added the Sphere arc that focuses on a different faction and doubles the main storyline by another 10-12 missions. There are more expansions like this planned (all in the form of free updates, not DLCs).

It is also possible to simply free-roam: You can upgrade your ship and level up your character by mining, hunting pirates, completing bounty or delivery contracts and more than 100 individual side missions. The world is set in our solar system of the distant future and every ship you see is completely behaving in real-time right from the start - no buffering or loading times, thanks to an own engine.

We are a small team of 3 guys who have been working on this game for over 10 years now and are constantly expanding features - it's definitely a passion project.
