A colony ship is drifting dead in space, and the only way you can figure out what happened is by going through its text log archives with 2 AIs. What follows is a 2-perspective tale of politics, repression, frustration, and annihilation on a spaceship that's regressed to a medieval Korean culture, told entirely through AIs and text logs.
I didn't know what to expect going into this game, and while the game part was just selecting text logs to review, chatting with the AIs, and typing in terminal commands, the plot was unique, dark, and tragic. There's also an interesting gameplay twist where you have to choose 1 AI to save right after you learn some disturbing details about the two. It was an interesting, stressful decision to make, especially when you're trying to fix another problem at the same time.
There's not much more I can discuss about this game. The graphics & music were decent, the gameplay was minimal, and while the story's the biggest draw here, I can't really discuss that more without spoiling parts of it. If you're looking for an interesting story, this game's worth your money. If not, I would pass it by.
