About TARTARUS


About the game :

In the year of 2230, Mining and Research vessel Tartarus (MRS TARTARUS 220478) activates the security protocol near Neptune without any sign. The only chance for crew to survive is to reach the Bridge and restart all systems one by one before the ship crashes into Neptune. We are playing as Cooper(cook and miner of the ship) who has no education or training about electronics or pilotage; to overcome this, vessels engineer ''Andrews'' is helping us as much as he can. Though it's not as easy as it sounds...

I kept wanting to type cd instead of sf on the command line. My brain was like “please let me just change directories” and the game was like “nope, suffer.”

Game is crashing after the 30 secs after the launching, no matter if I'm in the actual game or in the main menu. I have RTX4080, 32RAM, i7-14700. Can't even find a solution online to fix this

If I wanted to use a text-only interface to run a computer, I could do that in my daily life. (I do not want to do that.) I like the setting and environment, for what it's worth, and I don't regret the purchase because you've clearly put in some effort and you should get credit for that, but I'm never going to play this again.
