A crew is trapped in a time loop aboard a spaceship, and each run sends them through branching routes toward the Cobalt Core. Victories reveal memories that gradually fill in the story of the loop.
In turn-based ship battles, you play cards to move your ship along a single axis, dodge telegraphed attacks, raise shields, and fire at enemy ship sections. Positioning helps you avoid incoming shots and aim weapons at vulnerable targets.
Choose a ship and three crew members for each run; their distinct card pools shape your strategy. Collect and upgrade cards, gain artifacts, and adapt your deck as you travel. Daily challenges add runs with special modifiers.
Reviewers frequently enjoy the tactical blend of deckbuilding and ship positioning, especially the choices involved in dodging attacks while lining up shots. Many also praise the crew’s dialogue and personalities, the soundtrack, and the range of strategies created by combining characters and ships. Some reviewers find the available enemies, cards, and events limited, making repeated runs feel familiar; others mention that the story unlocks can require many victories or that the challenge is too forgiving.
