Palinurus

Palinurus is a kinetic visual novel about a traveler and an artificial intelligence stranded in uncharted space. A drifting traveler boards a one-person shuttle bound for Alpha Centauri, piloted by Budapest, an AI program designed to serve humanity. Hardworking and diligent but naïve about the universe, Budapest is intensely devoted to her directive.

Adrift in space

When disaster strikes the shuttle, Budapest and the passenger are sent careening through uncharted space, with little prospect of rescue. Confined to a floating cockpit in an empty ocean of stars, they must rely on each other. As they make interesting discoveries, Budapest develops traits and quirks beyond her programming, while the passenger finds there is more to the AI than expected.
