ABOUT THE GAME

Unknown planet and the living infrastructure left on the ship

When the captain wakes up from cryo-sleep, he sees a ring-shaped planet that is different from what he expected. While investigating the mysteries outside the ship, they also need supplies to keep the awakened crew alive. It's a game where you read the text that tells the situation, read the action buttons, and check the resource display as you progress.

01

Read the text and choose an action

A selection button appears after the event description. At the beginning, we understand the situation of the ship and proceed to start up the hydroponic cultivation equipment.

02

Manage food and crew on the same screen

Food and crew status are listed at the top left of the screen. The choice to increase food will be reflected in the numbers, and production must be maintained to feed the active crew.

03

A story surrounding the mystery of the planet and its return

The author investigates the mysteries of the planet and introduces it as a story about the survival of the crew and their return to Earth. The work has multiple endings.
