About the Game: Beware space travelers! Surviving aboard the Tin Can is no trivial matter and can get quite frantic. Without a good look at the systems surrounding you, your onboard manual, and patience, the only thing awaiting you is a cold (or hot) cosmic death. Consider yourselves warned. Good luck!

"In space, tech support can't hear you scream!"

Get your hands dirty! All the systems inside your escape pod are made up of many different components, from fuses to air filters. They are all interconnected and have their own critical function.

Listen to your body! When all your systems are failing, in the dark, only the sound of your heartbeat and your shallow breathing will alert you of your imminent death. O², CO², atmospheric pressure, and temperature are realistically simulated for maximum immersion.

Your life hangs by a thread...don't lose focus! The manual inside your pod is filled with detailed information that could very well save your life.

Plan ahead! From asteroid fields to nebulae, these cosmic monsters will wreak havoc on your systems and won’t give you a lot of time to breathe...

Strong Points: Manage pod systems down to every single component. Numerous systems which all have their own unique function and serve to ensure your survival. Every system is interconnected, from the oxygen generator to the emergency lights. Over a dozen different components, all having their own specific function and causing different problems when damaged. Organic failures thanks to the simulated nature of resources and components inside the game. Dismantle, swap, and fix anything inside the pod. Realistic management of vital resources, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature, and radiation. An onboard manual providing detailed information about your escape pod. Real medical symptoms instead of health bars. Cosmic events will strike your pod and will have different types of impact on its systems.

Background: As a random member of your colony's space program, you leave Mars aboard a large transport ship, only for its reactor to go critical in the middle of your journey to new horizons. All your time spent in the simulator did not prepare you for such a dire situation! Now, drifting in your escape pod, without any FTL capabilities, you realize that an easy way out was not included. Use your own wits to fix systems in a similar way you would fix and build your own PC, by swapping and fixing individual components. With a bit of luck, you might be able to finally find a safe haven.
