What players say
oregon trail in space. jump through nodes and encounter various events while managing crew and resources. random, frustratingly so because of the roulette-like mechanic, and somewhat repetitive, but fun until you've seen most of it. nice graphics and music too.

If you're already having a bad day, the RNG will make it worse. Good for killing time and your self-worth/sanity.
Whilst the humour is good, and the art style great. This isnt a game.. this is funny dice game that largely plays itself. The core engine is based on a random number generator. If you like luck based randomness then this game will appeal, otherwise I would suggest you give this a miss.
