Decent Into Sector 32

About the Game

Descent into Sector 32 is a decision-based mystery game, set in the far future. Jump into your ship and descend into the increasingly dark and hostile environment of Sector 32.

About the Story

You are an aspiring pilot in local security forces - one of the only ways to escape the poor and dangerous outer edges of the galaxy, by getting recruited into the regular navy of the Grand Federation. Your copilots? Two veterans from central, demoted that is, parked in the middle of nowhere to be forgotten.

Out here, ships disappear every day. Most of them are never looked for - if you get lost, you are lost. But, today, somebody seems to be in luck, because your carrier has been dispatched to investigate an unusually large ship. Detected in the outer rings of the giant nebula at nearby sector 32 - an area notorious for the amount of ships going missing there.

Make your decisions

Choose your answers wisely, but also pay attention to your surroundings. Following your veteran comrades may get you the end they want - but it may also leave those they don’t care about out there to die.

Secrets and multiple endings

Find countless secrets in the field, uncover the hidden messages from those who got lost before you - but be careful, you can’t trust everything you see.

Take care of your ship and preserve your equipment. Damage to your ship or a single wasted missile might come back to haunt you later.

  • Over 20 short stories of people who got lost in the field

  • Over 100 clues to set you on the path of discovering the real mysteries of Sector 32

A Long Journey to an Uncertain End

A Long Journey to an Uncertain End

Not looking good, Captain. That holo-influencer you sent Matias to guard has been “upstaged”. Putting a former drag queen before every camera in the verse? Not the best idea. And the anti-sentience rally we sent Aylah to… that’s a riot now. Not saying it’s entirely her fault the audio drones were hacked but, you know. Probably didn’t help.

On top of that Truly and Denny are nowhere to be found. Any chance of keeping a low profile is out the airlock. Now there’s an incoming message from… your ex?

All in all, a quieter day than most.

A Long Journey to an Uncertain End is a narrative focused Space Opera that’ll have you flying around the universe assembling an unruly crew from an eclectic cast of characters and taking any job you can to keep one step ahead of your abusive Ex. The twist: you’re not just piloting a ship… you are the ship.

Supplies don’t come for free in the verse, doubly so for outlawed sentient spaceships. Every planet, moon and space station is a valuable source of jobs and their precious rewards. Assign crew tasks based on their skills, and help their decisions along the way. If everything pays off you’ll have what you need to escape, and if not…well, you can call in those favors you’ve been saving.

A Long Journey to an Uncertain End presents a unique vision of the future, a universe of inclusivity and diversity tainted by uncertainty and fear. Build a family within your crew. Every crew member has their own story, every planet its own history, and even your own adventure remains unfinished.

Sentient ships have been outlawed for centuries. With the help of your holo-companion C.O.R.G.I. and your (mostly) loyal crew, you managed to evade capture. Now there’s an entire galaxy between you and freedom.

So…where to next, Captain?

Features:

  • Fly across a unique galaxy, from the dust-bitten badlands of the Rim, to the techno-industrial megacities of the Core…and Beyond.

  • Recruit an eclectic crew from a diverse cast of characters with their own stories and varied skill sets.

  • Explore planets, moons and space stations as you put distance between you and your abusive ex. Match your crew to jobs and decide their actions along the way. If all else fails, you can always rely on a favor or two.

  • Manage your resources to keep your crew happy. Boosting between worlds can take its toll, as can failing at jobs. A happy crew is a productive crew… most of the time.

In Marte - The First Moon

lol, i was compelled to change scripts of game to pass through pipes scenes, they are just broken, looks like if you rotated it wrong a lot, you will never solve the puzzle. Awful game, found it in similar games to my own one. Do i have any chance to contact with developer? want to discuss some details of game.

I don’t think I even need to explain why this game is bad, the video speaks for itself.

I don’t understand why Valve allow these sorts of games to exist on this platform.

Lightyears from Home

Lightyears from Home

Set in a solar system far from Earth, “Lightyears from Home” is a sci-fi game that puts the player in the shoes of an engineer following clues to an unknown galaxy in search of someone who had long gone missing. The story begins with the player exploring Glacier IV, a geothermal ice planet that was formerly explored by a major mining company before being abandoned due to unexplained casualties.

While a story-based metroidvania game at heart, “Lightyears from Home” will incorporate mechanics from various game genres, including survival, crafting, and RPG, to create a uniquely player-driven experience. The player faces not only the planet’s wildlife but also the environment itself, providing a constant challenge to the exploration of the game world.

The Last Hope

The Last Hope

Running simulator

In the game we play the role of a viking who must save the world. To do this, he has to go through several portals in order to reach his destination, which is Mars. In addition, we have to control life, collect food and drink. On the road we will also meet various enemies.

And now what does it look like? The game is to run from one point to another in front of you. Eating and drinking is useless, all we have to do is find first aid kits, which usually lie on the road. Enemies are bugged and don’t want to attack us, so the whole game is based on running through yourself. And so through 5(?) locations.

(Got this game for free from Marvelousga.com . Thanks, guys!)

I am walkin' to the limit! I am walkin' to the limit! I AM WALKIN' TO THE LIMIIIIIIIT!!!!!

The Last Hope is a game about walking to a destination which you have to discover while making sure you survive to meet it. During your quest, you will need to maintain your health, hunger, and thirst…which can become quite a challenge in various areas (this limit is removed the moment you board the plane to the USA, which makes the experience more casual and enjoyable). The overall objective is to push a small object a short distance (like nudging it off a cliff), but with a very long run towards the destination.

Lost Crew

Lost Crew

I consider myself a veteran of interactive stories genre and a somewhat skeptical person, but I have to admit that Lost Crew did really impress me.

Pros:

  • Great immersive story. You really want to find a way to help those people and find out what’s going on.

  • Lots and lots of branches to take and secrets to uncover.

  • Surprisingly good and enjoyable prose (*I played the original russian version)

  • Its stylish and atmospheric with a nice futuristic sci-fi setting

  • Its insanely hard to reach any real ending, much less the perfect one. The best I did was 67% happy ending. But each time you really want to try and make it work!

This game is sickening & boring…

The game is entirely linear with only one correct route to follow… Otherwise, you have to restart it from the very beginning… which is VERY, VERY annoying.

1/10 unenjoyable

Pros:

  • Nice concept, nice cut scene.

  • Exotic story.

  • Gameplay, graphic, sound track, sound effect are not so bad.

Cons:

  • Game progress is very slow at begin you must do many quest to get new gears. (doesn’t mean mining or crafting for me)

  • Enemies are really hard to fight for beginner. (no problem when you equipped with end game gears)

  • Your ship will flying very slow at begin, and the story line are quest running.

  • Seem the game are in development.

I need to say something to developers. Did you try your game before release ?

I started playing this when arteries was the only map available. The game has come a long ways, the new maps have been enjoyable, and while they still have some things to work on and bugs to crush, I’ve found myself enjoying what is very much like a space / aircraft fighter game with resource harvesting.

Also, if you are a fan of movies like Innerspace or Fantastic Voyage, you may find yourself sucked into this even easier.

Interstellaria

Interstellaria

123 hours, just came back for more after not playing for a few months, and had to write a review.

I can not for the life of me figure out the negative reviews (keep in mind though I am more of a ‘benefit of the doubt’ reviewer than a ‘this game is not precisely what I expect/desire therefore I will crap all over it’ reviewer). This game is a blast. I have to assume they are doing the usual ‘reviewing it as compared to some other game they like more’ or ‘reviewing it for what they want it to be rather than what it is’. Either way, my opinion is this game is one of the better unkown space games in existence. All these ‘FTL’ clones, and no mention of Interstellaria, is a travesty, this game needs more PR.

Real player with 124.3 hrs in game

Short version:

It’s fairly similar to FTL with the added ability to explore planets (with simple ground combat), move your ship freely in deep space (with dynamic tactical space combat) and enjoy an entertaining plot that guides you through the open-world universe.

Is it perfect? No. There are issues and the UX is not the best, but unless that puts you off, you can definitely enjoy the game.

Coldrice seems to be working non-stop to fix any issues and there are also some planned improvements.
