Overview
Description

The ship’s computer, Westwick Main, has also lost crucial data, forcing you to rely on wits and exploration to untangle murder, deception, and humanity’s fate. Darkstar blends cinematic storytelling with classic point‑and‑click puzzles for a solitary, immersive sci‑fi experience.

After a routine work-for-hire mission goes catastrophically wrong, pilot Powell crash‑lands on a desolate planet and must repair the merchant vessel Morningstar while uncovering who killed the crews of previous ships. The game blends atmospheric sci‑fi storytelling with point‑and‑click puzzles as you race against a strange gravity well and an unseen threat.
