About Beyond the Chiron Gate
The middle of the 23rd Century. A space probe detects unusual energy readings from the asteroid 2060 Chiron. A crewed follow-up mission detects a million-year-old artefact buried beneath the asteroid's surface. A ring of exotic matter that bends space and gravity. A Gate, which when activated could lead anywhere in the galaxy...
Beyond the Chiron Gate is a text-based space exploration roguelike. Explore an endless universe filled with exotic planets, strange life forms, and ancient civilisations. Manage a crew of space explorers and upgrade their ship with new technology. Brave dangerous worlds to gather the data you need to reach the home system of the mysterious Gatebuilders.
Beyond the Chiron Gate is the spiritual successor to the viral hit web/mobile game Seedship. Go beyond the Seedship's mission and explore a larger, more detailed universe.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The game is really interesting for something of this size, but I do have to say that RNG will be a rather important factor of the game. You can attempt to mitigate it all you want, but RNG will still be soemthing that can frustrate you. It's not so bad, and the different ways the game piece things together make every run unique enough.
Fantastic followup to an already fantastic game.
Definitely a good vibe that you don't see in many games. First contact not being played for laughs is definitely refreshing. But a little on the short side, by 5 hours you've seen pretty much everything, and that for a 10 buck game is a little disappointing, especially given it's entirely text-driven. Honestly, I'd love to see *more* of this.
Perfect followup to Seedship.
very very nice game!
It's pretty good, I had hoped for something a bit more like seedship storywise but this is still good. If the dev continues down this path I can see future games being kind of like a sci-fi version of suzerain.
