About

Choose your path in this short, densely-packed space opera visual 'novella', where one full play-through can be finished within an evening! With what consequences will your path lie? Choose wisely, as your decisions may lead you to one of seven potential endings.
Storyline

Play as Doctor Athena, a passionate young woman with mixed alien heritage - and the sole survivor of refugee camp Itoh. Three days remain on the trip 'home' - with only the ship's unsettlingly polite Captain Odysseus and the cryptic alien war criminal Chiron for company. But is everything really as it seems?
