Sci-Fi
You are the newest Ensign aboard the Invisible Hand, an official commercial vessel of the Laissez-Faire Trade Federation. Can you help the crew repair a broken FTL drive before a hostile enemy fleet shows up to reclaim your latest bounty?

An interactive fiction piece with nods to sci-fi tropes and old-school "Classic Text Adventure Masterpieces of Infocom".

Recommended if you like: Ron Gilbert meets "Futurama" or "Discworld" sensibilities IN SPACE.

Authored with Twine.
Playtime: +/- 20 mins.
Cruelty level: Merciful.

That was probably the best text adventure I've played yet! I love how when I won, it played that catchy little techno tune...

My only complaints are that the GAME OVERs from examining items seemed kind of cheap, and that "I'm" was never capitalized.

Other than that, this was a delightful read with entertaining characters and a "metric sh*t-tonne" of sci-fi references.
