The Away Team

The Away Team puts you in control of Earth's final interstellar spaceship as its AI. Your task is to deliver the human crew to a suitable new home among the stars. With the fate of previous ships unknown, you use galactic maps to choose which planets to visit, which crew members to send to the surface and what choices they make along the way.

Crew and choices

You can choose from ten possible crew members, each with distinct attributes, traits and flaws that affect your chances. Across more than 30 planets and stations, you face over 700 choices, with near-infinite randomized sector maps creating different routes through the galaxy. The story contains over 120,000 words across multiple playthroughs, spanning action, suspense, drama and horror, with four paths to victory.

Manage supplies

Food and fuel are scarce in deep space. You must chart your course before supplies run out, when difficult decisions may follow and cannibalism may be the only option.

Create missions and characters

Lua-based missions and JSON-based data files let you write and script missions. The in-game character creator lets you make new characters, including yourself or your friends, and see who survives.
