Description
Crash-landed on a desolate, alien planet, what should've been a routine work-for-hire job for Powell has become a deadly mission to save the merchant vessel Morningstar and her crew. With one man dead and the captain gravely injured, Powell is on his own to repair the ship and find a way to escape the strange gravity well of the empty planet they've landed on.
And if the situation weren't dire enough, the only signs of life on the planet are the remains of a much larger and better equipped ship and her crew, all dead, and not by natural means. What--or who--brought down these ships and is killing their crews? For what reason? And can Powell find a way off-planet before he shares the same fate?

Customer Reviews
Nicely done, generally solid game
Devs did a nice job of trying to give the game a bit of a cinematic feel. Story was interesting, plot made me think a bit of Lifeline. Graphics and sound are good, particularly the music. Puzzles are of low to medium difficulty. A few tasks must be completed in an order that isn't necessarily intuitive, but not a big deal.
SPOILER ALERT.
I did like the effort required to learn a bit of the alien sign system, though given the limited symbol set and number of fields, it appears that, by my reckoning, the number of species that could be catalogued would be relatively small.
Great game, stumped by one puzzle
Awesome game, great cutscenes and puzzles, very atmospheric. Leaves some stuff open-ended. Has a nice radio function that provided most of the hints I needed to get through the game. Needed to look one up on the internet though, so I may as well put it here, spoiler-free. If you get stuck late in the game, look on the floor near the last thing you shot. Yep, small object that could use an idle animation. The captain could use one too, for obvious reasons. Definitely enjoyed the interface and I look forward to more content and high production values from this company.
Loved it! Please make more!
Love puzzle adventure games, this is one of the best ever. I love how your puzzles actually make sense, like "find a wrench and fix a pipe" instead of some games which are basically medallions and fanciful keys and crap that makes no sense. Please develop more games along these lines, I would pay for them all! Very high quality. Would dig various genres too, sci fi is great but horror/thriller stuff would be fun, archeology/period stuff, or whatever. Thank you!
