Crash-landed on a desolate, alien planet, what should've been a routine work-for-hire job for Powell has become a deadly mission to save the merchant vessel Morningstar and her crew.

Powell is stranded on the alien planet Deadrock after the merchant vessel Morningstar is pulled into its gravity well and crashes. With one crew member dead and the captain badly injured, Powell must find a way to save the ship and escape.
Explore scenes aboard the Morningstar and among the remains of another, larger ship. Search for useful objects and clues, then combine items or use them on parts of the environment to overcome obstacles.
As Powell investigates the wrecks, he uncovers clues to what happened on Deadrock. Progress comes through solving point-and-click puzzles; the wounded captain can be contacted by radio for occasional hints.
Players often enjoy the sci-fi atmosphere and central mystery, along with the focused point-and-click exploration and scene interface that makes interactive objects easier to find. Several returning players also value revisiting the earlier Flash game. The adventure is frequently described as short; some appreciate its straightforward puzzles, while others find particular item combinations or clues hard to spot. Reviews also differ on the voice acting, and some players wanted more answers to the story’s larger questions.
