About the Game

The mothership is falling.

With Sola in your visor, you’ve got one shot. Cross the wastes to three relay sites, feed them plasma cores, and halt the descent. Scavenge BitCredits, fuel, oxygen, and ammo in abandoned sectors. Claim outposts to restock. Ride a hungry hoverbike, choose your fights with roaming Crawlers, and make every minute count.

You are the last Pilgrim.

How it plays

  • Hunt ruined zones for plasma cores, fuel, oxygen, and ammo.

  • Stabilize cores (they decay in-hand) and stash them in containers to recharge.

  • Traverse fast on your hoverbike: burn fuel, dodge patrols, and follow Sola’s bearings (no map hand-holding).

  • Deliver five powered cores to each distant relay before the global countdown hits zero.

Features

  • Tactical survival with health / oxygen / stamina management

  • Core loop: find → stabilize → deliver plasma cores to relays

  • Fast traversal on a fuel-hungry hoverbike

  • Claim outposts to restock ammo and spend BitCredits

  • Guidance from Sola

  • Enemy pressure from roaming Crawlers

  • Sola: Dynamic Dialogue (optional, local-only). Toggle at startup to let Sola answer questions and provide guidance. Off by default.

Early Access

This is an early version in active development. Expect regular updates shaped by your feedback. There’s no forced path or hand-holding: you’re free to figure out what to do and how to do it. Test it. Break it.
