About Into the Stars

Details
Take the role of Captain as you explore a massive solar system in search of a new home for humanity. Outfit Your Ship, select Your Crew and set off on a journey where you must scavenge Resources, shelter Civilians and outrun a hostile Alien force in order to survive. Featuring an original soundtrack from Jack Wall, the man behind the unforgettable score for Mass Effect. The story is that we've been under attack for 10 years now. Every 6 months a new group of them arrives set on destroying our planet and now few of us remain to defend what’s left. The massive Ships we've built in hopes of escaping them have all gone, save one. As the captain of our final vessel, you must guide an inexperienced crew on a journey fraught with mystery and danger. The fate of the fleet is uncertain and you could well be our last hope. How will you fare once you set out Into The Stars?
