The Star Astraea by mamos

The Star Astraea is a long-form science fiction parser adventure set aboard a vast colony ship in deep space.

Most of the ship is asleep. Thousands of colonists remain in cryo while only a thin working layer of crew stays awake to keep the voyage running. You were not supposed to be awake yet. Pulled out of cryo early, you return to consciousness in Ring 1 recovery weak, disoriented, and already behind a problem serious enough to bring you back before your time.

You play as Daniel Mercer, a seasoned ship systems expert with decades of experience and a direct hand in the design of many of Astraea’s critical systems. He knows the ship better than most, and he knows when something does not add up.

What begins as a technical problem turns into a deeper investigation through restricted routes, failing systems, buried pressure, and signs that the official story may not be the whole truth. Explore the ship, examine clues, work through layered problems, and uncover what has gone wrong aboard the Astraea before the cost reaches far beyond one bad job.

The Star Astraea focuses on exploration, investigation, atmosphere, and grounded science fiction worldbuilding in a large parser-driven adventure.
