Allure of the Stars

Your party of trusty explorers is about to test its fortune by plundering a vast derelict passenger cruiser. The grand spaceship was abandoned and lost after an accident at the Solar System's outer frontier, but recently unexpectedly reappeared. Reportedly, deposit safes and jewelry inventories were never salvaged. Neither are emptied the gilded robot holds, the expensive arboretum nor the extravagant whole-deck habitat of natural and enhanced animals.

Up to this day, countless autonomous life support and damage mitigation subsystems with redundant power sources busy themselves throughout dozens of decks. They seem successful, because there are abundant traces of ongoing metabolism all over the ship. That should make exploration so much easier.

Yours can't be the only shady Neptune Area crew interested in the giant wreck, so you shouldn't count on reaching it unopposed. The feral outer frontier denizens are not famed for scruples nor for restraint when using hazardous nano, cyber and bio technologies. Expect to bump into crazed machinery, warped nature, deadly residues and astounding treasures. Assume you'll be tracked and chased via sight, sound and smell. Prepare to hide in shadows, distract and set up ambushes. Gather clues and resources. Use and abuse. Outsmart. Outlast. Your survival is at stake.

Allure of the Stars is a turn-based game. You issue a command. Then you watch its results unfold on the screen, without you being able to intervene. Then the dust settles and you have as much time as you want to inspect the battlefield and think about your next move.
