About This Game

You are the AI in charge of Earth's final interstellar spaceship, tasked with delivering your human crew to a suitable new home among the stars. The fate of previous ships is unknown--with a set of galactic maps to guide you, it's your job to decide which planets to visit, which crew to send down to the surface, and which choices they should make along the way. You are humanity's last hope.

Your choice matters!
Each of ten possible crew members has a distinct set of attributes, traits and flaws that will impact your chances, so choose wisely! With over 30 planets and stations to visit, over 700 choices to make, and near-infinite randomized sector maps to visit, there are countless paths to take across the galaxy.

A novel's worth of adventure!
Over 120,000 words of text across multiple playthroughs provide a rich storyline full of action, suspense, drama and horror. Can you find your way down all four paths to victory?

Customizable
Lua-based missions and json-based data files make writing and scripting your own missions simple, and creating new characters is a breeze with the in-game character creator. Write yourself into the game, or include your friends and see who survives.

Eat your crew
Food and fuel are hard to come by in deep space. Choose wisely but quickly in charting your course--when supplies run out, tough decisions will be in store, and cannibalism might be the only option...

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

All depictions of violence are done through text, including character deaths, which can occur frequently. The Away Team is a game about surviving with limited resources. Starvation and cannibalism are possible outcomes of that.

Addiction is a trait of one of the characters in the game, though no illegal drug use is depicted. There are hallucinogenic substances on some alien planets.

Some characters in the game can profanity on rare occasions, to emphasize their reactions to dramatic moments within the game, which may not be a part of all playthroughs.
