About this game Read the full description
"I remember being disappointed. I remember looking up at the night sky and feeling this great sadness. Honestly, I thought there’d be stars..."

Far out in the deepest reaches of space, a young man dreams of seeing the ruins of old earth. He dreams of setting foot on its soil and breathing in its air. He smiles to himself and goes back to painting. Beside him, reading her book, is his only real friend. Sully's the reason he's on this ship in the first place. He smiles again and reaches for another pot of paint.

Sully awakes on cold stone, the sound of pounding rain filling her world. She slowly gets to her feet, the endless rain soaking her to her skin. She looks back at the smoldering wreck of her old life and looks up at the endless black sky.

"At the end, I always thought there'd be stars..."

Follow a starship engineer through through the wreckage of her life as she desperately strives to be rescued from the storm-tossed hellscape she's crashed on. However, it's not just the rain that chills Sully to the bone but the memory of what she's left behind
