After getting bail from the Intergalactic Police, you've been given a chance to earn your freedom. The catch? You must manage a space station on a distant, unknown planet. But this isn’t the freedom you’ve been dreaming of. You must check in daily through the station’s system and prove your worth to the authorities. Only by staying on top of your tasks can you hope to reclaim your independence. Repair, open, and manage your very own space station. Provide essential services like snacks and fuel for interstellar travelers. Earn credits, expand your operations, and customize the station to suit(Storyline via IGDB)
