You're the newest steward of Thoth Observatory, tasked with researching the strange Kerr black hole SJ-1765—the Sejanus Singularity. The data gathered here is invaluable, so maintain the installation and preserve your sanity until your rotation ends in this deteriorating station.
Ergosphere
SteamIntro You're the steward of Thoth Observatory, a failing research station studying the Sejanus Singularity—humanity's key to FTL communication.
Keep the station operational while managing cascading system failures, performing emergency repairs, and gathering critical data. The station's AI actively abstains from sharing information it thinks you don't need, leaving you to piece together the truth yourself, if you desire that is, after-all priority number one is simply getting through your shift.
Balance routine maintenance against crisis management as equipment degrades faster each day. Every decision matters when you're alone in deep space with deteriorating life support, unstable power systems, and an anomaly that warps reality itself. Gameplay The machine intelligence known as HERMES will provide you with a list of tasks to complete each day. These tasks can vary in number and complexity, but some examples of them include but are not limited to.
You are essentially a fusion between a research scientist, mechanic, and janitor as the people who build this station could not afford to hire more than one crew member at a time, as such you will be wearing many hats. Features
