The Plot

It's the year 2080. You are a space marine's tech who specializes in security and hacking. The squad that you are supporting is leading by commander Alex Decker. They are on their way back home from a reconnaissance mission in The Teta Colony. Unfortunately, the spaceship was damaged and they were forced to have an emergency landing at International Space Station Sigma-18. The ship was wrecked during the landing so you must help the squad to find another way out.

How to Start

How to Play

You should be able to find all instruction in the game. Here are a few hints for the beginning:

use left console to run commands and hack systems of ISS Sigma-18
right screen shows map and current location of the squad. Only visited location are show on the map
to list all available commands type help and press ENTER. At the beginning there is not many of them available, however, you will get more commands as proceeding in the game
up/down arrows navigates through the history of the console
to get help about specific command run [CommandName help]. (For example sfx help)
You can communicate with commander Decker via com command. See com help for more info.
If you really got stuck, you can ask commander Decker for help by running com hint. However you should be able to complete the game without that.

Known Issues

Not working on Internet Explorer (due to code optimization to meet 128000 bytes size limit). Recommended to play on latest version of Chrome.
The game does not save the progress. After closing the web browser your progress will be lost.

Code Quality

Due to the limit of 128000 bytes, this is not the most beautiful code that you can find on the Internet :) Focus on the gameplay and have fun instead :)
