About This Game

A 100% FREE project, made with love by a diverse group of local hobbyists. ^_^

Play as Doctor Athena, a passionate young woman with mixed alien heritage—and the sole survivor of a mysterious incident. 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? Immerse yourself wandering the confined spaces of the warship Ithaca. Uncover their secrets as Athena decides where she truly belongs.

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.
