Om dette spil

What The Stars Forgot is a horror-based management sim. You play the role of SNPAI (Sentient Neuromonitoring Partner AI), this ship's onboard AI supercomputer. The crew can manage their day-to-day responsibilities, so your job is to help them handle the events that occur during the course of the adventure. That could mean changing crew member assignments to make the best use of their individual skill sets, figuring out how to best balance the workload as the casualties mount, and how to respond to the various emergencies that will crop up during the course of your adventure.

One moment you may need to dispatch engineers to put out a shipboard fire, and in the next you'll have to quarantine individuals who have been infected with a dangerous virus and prioritize the development of a vaccine. 

A large portion of your responsibilities will be to manage the crew's performance. Some crew members will have hidden talents that will make them suited for a new role. Others may be complete novices at a particular job, but have a high potential for growth if you let them build experience. You will have to balance what assignments are optimal now, versus which could unlock advantages over time.

You will also need to pay attention to the moods of the crew members. The crew will provide clues, in the form of their words and deeds, about how they are feeling. Do they feel confident in their current assignment? Are they stressed out? Planning a mutiny? Suffering a complete break with reality? Left unchecked, crew member's stress can drive them to drink too much, stop performing their duties, or even start a dangerous, demon-worshipping cult.

Features

• A LIVING SHIP: You start your mission with hundreds of procedurally generated crew members, all with their own jobs, schedules, preferences, strengths, weaknesses, and potential for good...or evil.

• A GALAXY OF NIGHTMARES: Space travel is bad enough - you have to deal with mechanical failures, supply rot, and outbreaks of disease. But something darker also lurks in the void...and it hungers for your crew.

• THE CUTE GETS HORRIFIC: Everyone loves adorable pixel art...until those characters get blown up, sucked out of airlocks or...well, we don't want to spoil it, but trust us. It gets DARK.

• MANAGE A VARIETY OF SYSTEMS: Do you want to load up on agriculturalists in the grain silo? Assign a bunch of people to the lab to improve research time? How many crew members will labor away in waste management? It's all up to you, and all of them will have an impact on your strategy and journey.

Assignments

As the casualties mount, and crew members begin to crack under pressure, you'll need to manage where your crew members are assigned...and deal with the consequences. Do you pull an engineer off of a critical station to address a critical issue? Will you move crew members from engineering over to manufacturing to speed up construction of a vital piece of equipment? Are you going to wake a sleeping scientist to examine a strange energy signal that appeared out of now where. All of these choices run the risk of giving an essential function of the ship short shrift, increasing the stress-level of the crew, or pushing them past the point of collapse.
