Developed by Digital Eel · Published by Digital Eel
Each voyage takes you into the Purple Void, a galaxy whose stars, alien worlds, lifeforms, artifacts, and events are rearranged for a new expedition. Your aim is to explore, find useful discoveries, and get through the dangers you encounter.
You choose where to travel across a star map using turn-based movement. Each detour offers a chance to find something valuable, but costs time and can lead to hazards or timed events, so you must weigh curiosity against risk.
Discoveries can provide equipment and technology for your ship, which can change how it performs in real-time battles. You can also avoid some fights, and knowledge gained from earlier voyages can help you make better choices on later ones.
Players who enjoy the game often highlight its compact expeditions, unpredictable discoveries, and quirky science-fiction character. Reviews also appreciate the choices involved in balancing exploration with danger, and the option to avoid some fights. Some players find the experience shallow or repetitive, so the game’s appeal is not universal.
