Return to the Stars

About the Story

After having been taken captive in battle, you soon settled into a routine: sleep, eat, shower, reconsider your life choices, repeat. Until, one day, there is no more food. Or guards, for that matter. It seems to be up to you to find a way out of your prison and back home...

"Return to the Stars" is a short-ish (about 45 minutes) military-themed sci-fi game in which you must escape from captivity on an alien planet. There are some puzzles, but I wouldn't call it a "puzzle game" -- there's a good deal of exploration as well.

Off-Site Reviews

IF Comprehensive

Serious science fiction, whether soft or hard, is an area of interactive fiction that isn’t as popular or prominent as I would expect. “Returns to the Stars” is a short work of military-flavored sci-fi that provides a solid contribution to this genre.
