About the StoryYou are heading back to your ship, your navvisor blinking hard data at you as you look around planetside -- mineral deposits, heat signatures, distant planets -- when you decide, for a moment, to turn it all off, and pause to look up instead at the glittering expanse of starry sky above.

IFComp 2017 Review: Transient Skies by dgtziea
...just a Skinner box, so ultimately unsatisfying. Travel is about the journey, not the destination, but this is a journey without the wondrous text of Hoist Sail for the Heliopause and Home, and without the stunning destinations of Superluminal Vagrant Twin.

A great mid-sized Twine space exploration/trading game, November 16, 2017I beta-tested this game, and I deeply enjoyed it.
It's a twine game with some really nice use of color and a cool title screen.
You venture from world to world, doing some grinding of resources, and buying different equipment.
Other parts of the game include more room-to-room travel and taking and using items. There are story interludes, and so on.
It was a little shorter than I hoped for, but I'm still giving it 5 stars.
