Text based game where you choose 4-8 (difficulty dependent) crew members each with a job and different positive and negative personality traits. You are an AI that has to find them a world to live on. There is some good writing but like most games like this it is often too limiting, traits and choices are rarely logically used, death can be too random (extremely random on some planets/stations), and you need to try to manage fuel and food as is the common thing in survival space games which just adds even more randomness that never does anything interesting. Simple but can be good on the more interesting planets and I liked the ending I reached. No ship events or crew interaction outside of planets.
