Ramto isn’t the smartest guy in the universe. He enjoys finding troubles – and usually solving them, but when he wakes up alone on a spaceship it is too much even for him. Here, among heaps of weird devices created by a schizophrenic engineer, he must now deal with these crazy machines, solve the mystery of the crew’s disappearance, and hopefully find a way back home.(Storyline via IGDB)
