Celestial Drift

Over three centuries ago, humanity (already weakened by a previous conflict) was losing the war against The Drone Collective. The inhabitants of Foothold Beta station were facing imminent doom as a drone swarm approached. The scientists stationed there attempted to fold local spacetime to hide the station in lower dimensions. They succeeded, but a fatal accident interfered with the experiment, trapping Foothold's inhabitants and an unknown number of connected systems in flat spacetime.Now, three hundred years later, strange entities, drones, and old enemies are beginning to appear in our folded space and it's up to you to join the pest control.

Your ship is you

You start small, piloting a light civilian ship. Over time, you will gain access to stronger ships and better equipment as you earn credits and build relations with various divisions of the surviving Terran societies. With nearly limitless equipment variations, you can tailor your ship to suit expected situations.Learn to read each piece of equipment’s parameters simply by understanding its technical name. And always bring a full spare charge container. You don’t want to run out of charges for your weapons or repair bots at the wrong moment.

Explore the space

Each map is deliberately hand-crafted. An empty minimap doesn’t always mean there is nothing there. You may discover hidden stations or unmapped paths through jumpgates or unknown wormholes.Every map features a unique set of enemies. Not all of them are hostile, and some won’t stop chasing you. Some enemies will be a gold mine, while others mean near-certain doom. Almost everything hides a small or large piece of the surrounding world’s story.

Play how you want

There are no limits to where you can go, if you can survive the journey. Take contracts from stations to guide you deeper into space, or explore freely on your own. Extra credits and improved relations never hurt.Some enemies are named. Will you hunt them all?If you want to share your experience with friends, optional multiplayer is available. Multiplayer in the demo will remain functional until the full game is released.I hope you will enjoy this game as much as I enjoyed similar games in the past.
