About this game
You inhabit an artificial body carrying an emulated human mind, fleeing pursuers while the body malfunctions. Choose a class, configure skills and gather a crew, then decide which hubs, jobs and stories deserve your resources. Dice are central to resolving the role-playing decisions along the way. Contracts span multiple cycles, asking you to prepare an approach and then adapt to the results you roll. Stress can damage your dice, while class-specific Push abilities offer ways to influence outcomes. The recurring choice is how to pursue work while managing those risks. Skill checks and branching story decisions also shape the path you take through the Starward Belt.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
For players who enjoy making narrative commitments while managing uncertain dice outcomes.
Stress-damaged dice and class-specific Push abilities could turn contract planning into a negotiation between caution and opportunity. Choosing hubs and branching stories may make those mechanical commitments feel part of the sleeper's attempt to build a future.
Strengths
- Stress and dice condition can make the cost of taking risks relevant beyond a single check.
- Selecting jobs and story priorities can give resource planning a personal direction.
Weaknesses
- Players seeking dependable outcomes may find contracts less comfortable because preparation still has to accommodate dice results.
Who it is for: Readers who enjoy branching science-fiction role-playing and adapting plans to uncertain results.
Play notes: Planning a contract does not remove its dice uncertainty, and stress can damage dice.
