This is a chill simulation game where you are rocketing around and orbiting planets. It takes some experimentation to get used to the controls., but our playtesters got more skillful quickly.
This is also a narrative game where you can meet and choose dialogue options with characters on various planets and moons across the solar system.

UI is too confusing, sorry, can't figure out how to play. Audio is also set too quiet. Concept seems REALLY fun and I want to get to those branching narratives but I can't figure out how to advance :(
