About This Game

You fly the edge of the Fold: a frontier where smuggling routes cross dead systems, rival factions, and timelines that don't forget what you did last run.

Contraband is a story-first space game built around branching choices. Pick up cargo you maybe shouldn't, negotiate with people who maybe can't be trusted, and live with consequences that ripple across an interconnected campaign. Kaela — your ship's operations AI — keeps the dock running while you decide who you're going to be out here.

  • Branching narrative that remembers. Decisions carry forward. Factions track your record, contracts chain into consequences, and the frontier reacts to the pilot you've become.

  • 30 endings to discover. Four major timeline paths — Sacred, Multiverse, Abandon, and Burn — branch into dozens of epilogue variants tracked on your Sacred Timeline. Every ending is in the box: no paywalls, no cut content.

  • A living cockpit. A redesigned 4.0 interface: cinematic hangar, real-time HUD, pilot dossier, star map, and station services, all in one cohesive command deck.

  • Kaela Operations. Hand off routine ops to your onboard AI with curated commands and keep your eyes on the run.

  • Fully bilingual. Complete English and Spanish (Latin America) text and voice.

  • Built for any screen. Responsive layout from 16:9 laptops to 21:9 and 32:9 ultrawides.

Haunted frontier. Risky cargo. Timelines that remember. How far past the Fold are you willing to go?

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game uses generative AI tools during development for some pre-rendered visual assets (for example character and promotional artwork) and ElevenLabs text-to-speech for pre-rendered voice acting from human-written scripts (English and Spanish). All of this content is created before release and shipped with the game. The game does not use AI to create new content during gameplay, and it does not connect to external AI services while you play.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Contraband: Edge of the Fold is a story-driven space game with ship-to-ship combat. Combat is science-fiction action (lasers, missiles, explosions). There is no graphic human gore, mutilation, or on-screen blood.

The story includes mature themes: smuggling and other criminal activity, war, death, loss, and difficult moral choices with lasting consequences. Some side stories and endings are emotionally dark or unsettling (e.g. ghost-ship and Rift-related scenarios, references to corpses, trauma, and grief). Alcohol is mentioned in dialogue and narrative text but is not shown being consumed on screen.

Character designs may include revealing or form-fitting outfits (veiled / implied body form). There is no explicit nudity, sexual acts, or sexual violence. The game also includes sci-fi combat, crime themes, and mature story topics as described above.

Some narrative text briefly references self-harm or suicide (e.g. a character’s off-screen death by drowning; a player-choice ending involving self-destruction). These are not shown graphically.

Recommended for players comfortable with sci-fi violence and serious narrative themes.
