About This Game


Dare to travel the absurd and dangerous Orion Trail, where only the luckiest, bravest, and most stubborn captains will make it all the way to the end. Come face the terrible and weird Synapsion Brain Beast. Cower before the pedantic might of Baxxtor the Instructor. Submit to the overwhelming cuteness of the three eyed Warp Weasel. Become famously incredible or incredibly dead!

Ultra Cool Space Features

  • A high-stakes and hilarious journey through the strange, stupid and terrifying locales of the Orion Trail!
  • Choose your crew, name them after your friends, and watch them die! Heroically! Or, you know, maybe they’ll survive. Anything can happen!
  • Tons of random encounters, each with a variety of options and outcomes. You’ll probably never encounter the same thing twice! You might, though.
  • Away Missions! Send an Officer (with a few of your invaluably expendable Redshirts) into the fray. The rewards are great, but so is the risk…
  • Carefully manage your Resources: Food, Fuel, Hull, and Redshirts. Curse loudly as they’re whittled away.
  • Play to your strengths! Each captain, and officer provide different bonuses to increase your chances of success.
  • Succumb to the chaos of the Probability Drive. You can rely on your Crew’s abilities, but there are no certainties in space.
  • Chiptune soundtrack by Rainbow Kitten.
  • Gorgeous retro pixel art.

Fun little game. Its like a digital storybook game. It gives you little scenes and you decide how to deal with it, based on your skills and potential resource gains/loss. The longer missions really require you to balance your strengths with your resources, or you will run out. Good humor too, in satirizing the numerous Sci-Fi tropes. Recommended

If you're already having a bad day, the RNG will make it worse. Good for killing time and your self-worth/sanity.

The writing's not bad, it's just not good enough to carry a game that is essentially just a series of slot machines. Particularly since it's got a bit of a doom spiral mechanic where past losses make future losses more likely.

Meh; it's alright. While not a bad homage to "The Oregon Trail", I also find the game a bit bland at times, gameplay-wise. With the chances of getting resources being much more random and not with minigame type segments such as hunting or fishing, I feel that it's not a bad game, but I feel that it's not to die for, either. Let's just say that there's the possibility of some "suggestive" content (I won''t speak of exactly what) that makes me realize that this is not necessarily suitable for younger kids, but hey; at least it's not "Rick and Morty".
