Buy Times & Galaxy PC key

Times & Galaxy is a narrative adventure in which you play the first robo reporter, an intern at the Dorp system’s favorite regional holopaper. You have seventeen cycles to prove yourself in the newsroom by covering hyper-local stories, from shuttle crashes and intersolar cat shows to space ghost funerals.

Investigate stories

Choose an assignment each cycle, then travel by shuttle to investigate the scene. You interview sources, ask questions, dig up clues and build trust—or betray it—with more than 100 characters. The information you gather determines which options are available when you assemble your article with the Build-a-Story tool.

Your choices shape the story’s quality and tone, as well as the reactions of editors and readers. Over time, your reporting choices also affect the holopaper’s reputation and popularity.

Life aboard the Scanner

Between assignments, you can explore the Scanner, a sprawling spacebound newsroom where more than twenty crewmates live and work. The crew includes fellow reporters, editorial staff, pilots and ship’s crew, drawn from across the system: Humans, Augers, Verge, Xeel and Robos. They have their own concerns and respond to you in expected and unexpected ways depending on your choices.

The Scanner is also where you sleep, eat, work and relax. You can visit the Garden, which once held plants from across the system, and find seeds to restore its greenery.

Your robo reporter

Before arriving at the Scanner, you choose your chassis and paint job. You can also requisition upgrades from the ship’s Shuttlebots.
