About the Game

Keep the Serene afloat... or die trying.

Space-faring is a dangerous occupation, as young Adelaide is about to discover.

Manage Adelaide's skills and pick the right choices to survive those treacherous waters... or embrace the chaos and collect the seventeen death endings!

The story

Adelaide is a penniless space architecture student. She has found a job on the cargo ship Serene to pay for her next year of studies. She is counting on a quiet month-long journey before she can meet with her family again.

But the universe seems to conspire against her: between vampire clan wars, the mosses' grudge against the captain, a traveling pod of space whales, combative doriphores crew-mates, and sheer bad luck, she is in for a challenging trip.

A strategic visual novel

Put your strategic sense to the test and shape Adelaide's life to survive the game's 100+ skill checks.

Manage 30 skills to meet the various challenges on your way, from flexibility to inventing runes, from acting to economics.

Each night, you will have three points to allocate to skills of your choice. Learning is impacted by Adelaide's mood, the other skills of the category, and your studying history.
