This game is quite unusual in its structure. You can start out reading intros for different characters. While playing the game, you often switch between characters. The walkthrough has many segments that are just waiting, as this game alternates between being on rails and requiring you to guess the action that most interestingly continues the story. Fortunately, there are parts where it gives you bolded options to move forward.

The idea is that you are different people on a starship that is being hailed by opposing ships. You have to figure out what the other ships want and deal with their demands.

The game is interesting but a bit confusing and hard to play. I am glad I played it, though, and think it shows that the author put a lot of good work into this.
