SpaceLab Simulator
SteamPlay as an independent contractor on the spaceship Adiona. On your way to the delivery checkpoint for the special cargo, you have 257 reasons to keep it viable for assimilation and make sure you gather data for new potential hosts. The galaxy is your source of precious lab material and your pet rover you can choose a name for is your trusted buddy. Conduct experiments on probed materials and biosamples using the Gelluloid-based agents to ensure the mission’s success. Keep things together as most systems on your ship need maintenance. Deal with vexing situations, solve technical problems, make repairs and improvements, and submit daily reports to receive your revenue. Upgrade tools that will make your life and work easier, but before everything, try to keep your cargo safe. Stay sharp, as things are not always what they seem!
At first glance, the journey you embark on is a solitary one, but both the inside of the ship and the space you traverse will keep you engaged. As your ship explores galaxies, you will be able to deploy assistance and remotely maneuver it to extract a variety of samples.

Choose the right tools available on your ship to conduct experiments on the samples you gather and try to reach the results that will ensure Orbicorp’s approval of your work.

Solve technical challenges, ensure maintenance, upgrade, and manage your ship. It's the only way to secure a conducive research process.

Protect and take good care of your most valuable cargo inside the cryopods: human legacy as morphons. Make sure everything is monitored and stable.

You will travel great distances, discover new worlds and encounter new phenomena.

There are others like you out there. Find them, bond with them, trade, but stay ahead because after all, this endeavor is also a competition that can put you on the list of the most trustworthy of Orbicorp’s contractors.

Expect the unexpected and try to deal with it, as the dark space could be your friend but also your worst enemy. Be mentally prepared to handle the most unusual of situations, since you’re one of the few brave ones to take up this challenge.

The spaceship you handle is as yours as your own name. Create your own theme to maximize your experience and make it play the tune you like.
