An AI ship full of frozen colonists must find the best planet to be the new home of the human race. Push your luck: do you settle here, on this not-quite-ideal planet, or keep searching and risk your ship being damaged in the journey? The planets you encounter are randomly generated, and as you travel you encounter random events, so each playthrough is different.
great game! I enjoyed playing it again and again. The facts are good and choices are tough and it manages to make me worry about the damages I take. One thing that I notice was the damage rate could be really high, my! I don't know how but the cultural database was gone when I land I was expecting it to at least leave a half.
Although I am very happy with this game (and I am already looking forward to replaying it) I have to make a nit-pick the ending scores. The only score I understood was of the technology level and the cultural level (because they were described). The other numerical scores are numbers out of a maximum that I don't know.
But having said that … I am very impressed with this piece of work.
I cannot describe how good this game is. I love the way that it shows you levels of stuff like gravity, how breathable it is, resources, etc. I ended up inhabiting a planet called Iceball, because the surface was mainly ice.
