How your story begins

Morrow Tug

You are Kaia, a salvage diver aboard the Morrow Tug, a patched workboat drifting through the gas giant’s glittering rings. Outside the narrow forward glass, ice and nickel spin in slow, bright bands; inside, the tug’s deck plates flex under your boots with each shudder of its tired drive. You came here to strip useful metal from the ring debris, not to chase ghosts, but last night a distress beacon woke aboard the warship Acheron—missing for forty years, its signal unmistakably coming from within the hull.

Your first move: tap one, or type your own.

How it plays

Real dice

When it gets risky you throw a d20 yourself. The game shows what you need and what is at stake.

Danger that ticks

Threats grow as time passes and when you fail. When the clock is full, the consequence stays.

A world that remembers

Your items, money, wounds and the map are kept by the rules, not by the storyteller's memory.

People with a memory

Who trusts you, who owes you, whose patience runs out: it counts when you try to persuade them.
