About Asteroid Run: No Questions Asked
Captain! You have limited resources, desperate crew, strange cargo and a Company Man spying on you. Good luck crossing the Solar System with corrupt cops, cultists and terrorists on your tail: and don't be late!
Asteroid Run: No Questions Asked is a 325,000-word interactive novel by Fay Ikin. It’s entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Cargo runs between Earth, Mars and the Asteroid Belt are commonplace enough, but deadly too. You're the captain of a merchant vessel, but this time your contract has a twist: don't open the cargo, don't get in the way of its handler, and don't ask questions.
What kind of captain will you be: one who gets their hands dirty in the engines, an aspiring scientist, or a master negotiator? Will you focus on the health of your crew or the state of your ship? When the power blocs of the Black start sniffing around, will you put your crew in danger to protect the mysterious cargo, or will you join forces with the vicious anarchists who fight against corporate wealth and corruption?
Whatever alliances you make, the Black is vast and unforgiving, and your corporate guest is watching for any mistakes. You've got six months: make them count

Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 600: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆☆☆ (6/10) Man, I always hate writing a negative review for some of these games, especially considering the fact that I'm a critical reader who yaps a lot. [i]Asteroid Run: No Questions Asked[/i] has more positive reviews (30 in total) than most ChoiceScript games, so I'm going to chalk this one up to my pickiness. Because [i]Asteroid Run[/i] isn't, like, a [i]bad[/i] game by any means. It's a fine enough IF with a cool sci-fi setting, where you act as a captain transporting mysterious cargo across the galaxy. Along the way, you'll deal with a diverse crew and engage peacefully or violently with a couple of various factions. There's also some light resource management, as well. The writing is technically sound, too, with a flair for descriptions of space and setting. However, the story overall fell flat for me. Another review described it best as "the adventure seems more like a series of quick time events ... There is A LOT of going on but the narration moves so quickly that none of the events that should be impactful have any time to land."
