General Notes

• The player perspective is a side view.

  • See Mr. Prepper, XCOM (1 and 2) base management.

• The game is largely point and click or menu driven.

• The characters have basic needs that must be met daily.

• Main gameplay is turn-based.

  • The player can explore the ship and queue up tasks that will be performed when they click “End of Day”

• Exploration minigames take up actions.

  • A player is only granted so many actions per day.

  • Moving around the ship while exploring does not take any actions.

• Ships are heavily customizable.
