Scavenge derelict spacecraft with your drones, navigating past whatever is still alive in the dark, in order to save what little of humanity is left.
You sit alone at a terminal, surrounded by old gritty tech that acts as your only eyes and ears to the outside world. You control drones as they explore derelict spacecraft - in an attempt to salvage equipment and the survivors left behind. What you hear comes through a remote microphone. What you see is how each drone sees the world.聽
Motion sensors tell you something's out there, but not what. And when you issue commands, you do it through a command line interface.
The procedurally generated universe pushes back at every turn, with hazards as you travel between systems, and creatures lurking in the darkness of the derelicts you explore.聽Weapons are rare, so you'll often need to use sensor and ship functions to avoid or trap anything that's wandering the derelicts.
But even if you find a way, the sensor that you rely on may break down, or your lures may run out - even your drone's camera feed can start to fail. Your strategy will have to adapt to your current equipment and surroundings.
What will you sacrifice to bring humanity back?聽When you die you lose everything... but the survivors you rescue don't. At the beginning of each run you'll get reports back - detailing how they have fared on the planet you chose for them, with the equipment you left them with. For each settlement you'll learn who survived and who didn't - their triumphs and failures.
