Stardrop

Stardrop is a single-player, first-person narrative adventure in which you play Aryn Vance, a Salvage & Rescue Operative. Alongside her partner, John Kindley, Aryn investigates a long-lost starship, its crew and one individual in particular. The story mixes mystery and suspense with moments of humor, and unfolds across four chapters in the main campaign.

Story and exploration

The main campaign carries the central narrative, while side missions let you explore more of the Stardrop universe, including SRO side missions. You explore spacecraft, outposts, stations and other locations, with exploration at the heart of the gameplay. Cut scenes and in-game cinematics tell the story as you play, supported by a small, diverse cast of characters brought to life through voice performances.

Objectives are clearly presented, and the information you encounter guides you toward what to do and where to go. You can also stray from the main route to find secrets. The game includes light environmental puzzles and some stealth.

Tools and interfaces

Aryn’s All-Purpose-Design (APD) space suit includes a flashlight and an object scanner. The scanner identifies objects of interest that you can interact with, and can also support zero-gravity movement under certain circumstances.

The DataPad displays your current objective, collected audio and text logs, and a mini-map. You can interact with control panels, elevators, security systems and other objects, as well as computer interfaces where you can read emails and listen to audio logs.
