Story
Journey through space with a bizarre alien crew. Visit new worlds, negotiate with alien leaders, and risk romance across the stars!
A Sci-Fi Visual Novel game with RPG elements
Why Trey Donovan? Establishing a peaceful alliance between aliens and humans will be a difficult task, and Trey is far from the ideal candidate to represent the human race. Trey has grown up entirely in human-centric surroundings and has never ventured beyond our territories. Unfortunately, he also has absolutely no training in diplomacy. However, despite his dishonorable discharge from the military, he showed great leadership during his years of service. Even now, while banished to an exile colony, he has managed to bring law and order to a planet overrun with criminals and anarchists.
The universe has become smaller after the discovery of faster-than-light speed travel, and though some have reached out in peace, others have become locked in bitter wars and will soon turn their eyes upon us.
An alliance must be formed! To do this, emissaries will journey across the universe as a peace legation to the homeworlds of each alien race, then convince their leaders to send a representative to join the Interstellar Union. It is a dangerous gamble and will be a perilous operation. Will the alien crew be able to get along and survive the entire mission together? Will Trey?
If Trey even accepts this mission, he will need to adjust to the aliens and lead them successfully. Trey’s decisions and his words may usher us into a new era of peace, trade, and cultural exchange. Or, he may doom us all to a massive interstellar war that could mean the complete annihilation of humankind!
