About This Game

Covet the Countdown

You are Emmett Doyle, Lodestar Aerospace's battle-hardened Mission Director -- "the man in the chair" responsible for the final go/no-go on a rebuilt private rocket racing a Mars transfer window that won't wait. The last campaign ended in a pad explosion, an empty console seat, and a dead technician whose name Emmett refuses to let anyone erase -- while a crypto billionaire's money pushes the schedule toward liftoff anyway.

Over one relentless night, three women collide with Emmett's countdown. Choose who gets your time, your trust, and the truth -- because in a launch campaign, every relationship is a burn, every confession has a cost, and the window closes whether you're ready or not.

Meet the Cast

Devon Carrow -- The Fixer

Devon is the crisis-management principal flown in to protect the mission's optics and keep the board from panicking -- polished, controlled, and dangerously good at making disasters disappear. Emmett is the wrong kind of client: he won't follow her scripts, won't stop saying the dead technician's name, and won't accept a survivable lie. Her route is a romance of power and truth, where the woman who owns the narrative risks becoming someone who can't hide behind it anymore.

Tessa Cho -- The Trajectory Lead

At 29, Tessa holds the mission's true steering wheel: the math that makes the free-return to Mars possible. Emmett pulled her from a junior seat and made her indispensable -- then spent years pretending their connection was only work, even as the lines blurred at 4 a.m. over stubborn burn solutions. Her route is a slow-burn collision of ambition, grief, and desire.

Calla Reyes -- The Commander

Calla is Lodestar's best pilot -- sharp, disciplined, and furious at the way money bought her mission's command title out from under her. She and Emmett share a decade-old fracture: she once refused a risky "go," he cleared it anyway, and she paid the price while he climbed. Their route is a hostile reunion where chemistry predates the grudge, and where trust has to be rebuilt like the rocket itself.
