About the Game

[Story]

You are the captain of a drifting spacecraft.

The only way to survive is to keep the ship running as long as possible.

But fuel is limited.

And fuel consumption depends on the weight of the ship.

In other words — you need to lighten the load.

Every turn, the bottom row of the ship is automatically ejected.

What goes into that row is entirely up to you.

Sacrifice the crew —

or sacrifice the cargo —

But every choice comes with a price.

If you abandon your crew, what happens to your conscience?

If you abandon the cargo, what happens to your crew?

And even after paying that price, the chances of rescue are very low.

Still, you have no choice.

To survive.

Abandon your heart.

[Features]

Simple puzzle gameplay with drag-and-drop controls

Hidden stats that shift based on your choices

Multiple endings

Brutal low clear rate that keeps every turn tense

[Controls]
