Description
You are Captain Thomas Welmu, a Spacefleet science officer, lost on the other side of the galaxy. Dark forces are en route to Earth to destroy our planet - and you are carrying the only thing that can stop them.

Race back home across the galaxy. Collect new friends on your journey. Make new enemies. You won't be able to save everyone. Who will you leave behind? Which civilizations will you save - or destroy - along the way? The decisions are all up to you.

You Are... the Captain!





Travel the Galaxy!

Time is ticking. Will you plot the shortest route home or take a detour to use an experimental new technology with a wormhole? Is a distant distress signal worth investigating or should you use your time to raise funds to upgrade your engine?

It's all up to you, Captain.


Explore New Worlds!

Will you interfere with a pre-space civilization? Will you discover the terrible secret at a covert military base? Will you deliver a dying life-form's brain back to its people? Or use it to upgrade your ship?

What Could Go Wrong?



Engage in epic space battles! Or avoid them entirely?

The galaxy is a dangerous place. Will you shower aggressive encounters with a barrage of Type 2 Vacuum Rockets? Or let them taste the wrath of your freshly polished Plasma Gun? ...or will you choose to slip by and hope nobody notices?


Repair and Upgrade Your Ship!


Those pesky pirates have damaged your sweetheart. Should you go cheap and repair her yourself? Or spend the money and let the professionals do it right? Is it time to buy a brand new Shield Buster? Or perhaps a couple of convenient nuclear warheads?


Collect New Friends Or Make New Enemies!

Will you sacrifice a friend for the greater good? Will you rat out an undercover cop for a chance to get home quickly? Will you keep a life-changing truth from someone so they'll hang out and be your friend? Social Engineer Your Way Home.




A Galaxy Full Of tough Choices!

Will you gain access to the vault with explosives or is there a less intrusive way? Will you figure out how to pull off an undercover heist using a new consciousness transmitter? Ever wanted to try escaping an automated maximum-security prison in space? Will you look fabulous in tight pink swimwear?

Great Narrative, Great Replayability

As someone else said, this game feels like combining the stories of FTL and Star Trek, and I would highly recommend it to Star Trek fans. You can tell the creators of this game love sci-fi. I don't normally play point-and-click games, but this was a massive blast. Puzzles were interesting, but as advertised there's no pixel-hunting or absurd moon logic. The biggest strength of this game is its mission design. Each world serves as a unique mission zone that has multiple possible endings that provide different rewards and narrative. The narratives are fun and there are a few that truly enthralled me. Every time you complete a different ending to a world, you get an end card, and this is maybe the best feature of this game. When you come back to the planet on future runs, it allows you the option to skip that mission and continue onward as though you completed exactly the same way you did when you earned the end card. This prevents your successive runs from dragging in the parts you're done with, while allowing you to replay whatever parts you want to. I found the game enjoyable enough that I completed every possible ending and unlocked all achievements.

Briliant game

This is one of the most brilliant games I have ever played, well done for developers to create such a gem of a game. I'm personally sci-fi fan, and this hit a sweet spot for me, but the game was made so cleverly and intelligently that it has blown me away while I was playing. It is so complex and with a huge amount of side quests and stories, but all is connected, and your choices matter to the end game. There are multiple ways to finish the game and there is a very nice game mechanic for replaying again the game with different choices. I would recommend this game to everyone who likes adventure puzzle games, sci-fi fans, cyberpunk fans, point and click fans, and people who like strategy games, because this game combines it all and you have to make and chose your strategy. Really brilliantly made game, with beautiful art style, huge amounts of alien planets, great puzzles, great story, great combat parts (if you want you can skip combat but I found it very enjoyable because it is turn based with strategy) and great multiple finishes.

Awesome point-and click adventure.

I bought this on a whim and I have been really enjoying it. It is Star Trek meets FTL meets Space Quest. I love its version of SPACEFLEET (I don't know how Paramount isn't going after them for copyright, but I am glad they aren't). This is one of the best written P&C adventures that I have played in a long time. At the same time, it doesn't take itself too seriously. It is filled with humor and many of missions are inspired by famous sci-fi show episodes (and when I say inspired, I borderline mean copied). But I still loved seeing their take on it. If you love Star Trek, Space Quest, or even FTL (it isn't that hard), I wholeheartedly recommend The Captain. :)

Unique experience, awesome graphics

I got this game free from the Epic Games store. It was an awesome journey. The art style is great, and both sides if the gameplay are enjoyable. The tactical ship fights are good but of course, the best part of the game is the mini -some not so mini-adventures that let you travel through varied planets with twists to the gameplay here and there. The game is not easy and it has good replay value. Most importantly, you'll care about your character's fate and NPC's too. It's by far the best adventure game I've played in years. Try it, stick for at least a couple of hours and half a dozen of adventures and you'll know if it's for you. I'm looking forward this studio's next game!

Absolute gem!

Best Pixel Art Point & Click Adventure for me so far! Loved the humor and the story. I just wish there will be a second part :)
