Story:
Search for your lost mother as space pilot Meredith.
Uncover all the dirty secrets of the DISSOLVER company.
Rebel against the system by installing a repair upgrade to repair things instead of just dissolving them.
Bail out your junk eraser ship before the DISSOLVER year is over. After all, if you don't bail out your junk eraser ship, it will never tell you anything about what happened to your lost mother Elaina.
Decide who you will trust and rely on: your surrogate father, a loyal DISSOLVER engineer who has raised you ever since your mother went missing? Your actual father, a man you have never seen before? The rebels? The aliens? Can you even trust your own junk eraser ship?
Can you save the world by repairing things instead of destroying them?
Characters:
Meredith: She grew up in the childcare unit of the DISSOLVER company. One day when Meredith was still a teenager her mother just didn't return from work. Determined to find out what happened to her mother, Meredith got her pilot license and is now about to board the junk eraser ship 3LS4, the very ship that returned without her mother Elaina.
3LS4: Junk eraser ship. Returned without its pilot Elaina after its last flight. Refuses to hand over Elaina’s pilot logs, since they are protected by the pilot association’s psychological safety agreements. Its particle dissolve projector is powered by a supermassive black hole at its core. If it could move on its own, it would be considered a weapon of mass destruction. Since it has been somewhat erratic ever since returning, it is scheduled for erasure.
Dexter: Meredith's surrogate dad. As a loyal DISSOLVER engineer he happened to be around when Meredith's mother vanished. He mentored and supported Meredith all the way through her studies, but he cannot approve of her boarding a ship about to explode. After all, that's what it did to his laptop when he tried to get Elaina's pilot logs out of junk eraser ship 3LS4.
3LM4R: A customer facing unit working on the DISSOLVER station. He strongly reminds Meredith of Elmar, the customer facing unit in the DISSOLVER kindergarten.
Mikhail: The top mechanic and inventor of the rebels – that is, after Elaina left. He still knows how to install, use and upgrade her most important invention: the repair particle projector.
Chen: Young tractor ship pilot and rebel. Since his home planet got destroyed by a junk eraser ship crashing into it, he was partially raised by Mikhail.
Naaib: The leader of the rebels. He refuses to tell you anything before you have proved your merit.
XorX: Alien tractor ship pilot. He doesn't seem to be very sociable. Maybe that's just because he's an Alien. Maybe.

Little Update: Butterflies
Dear space pilots,this little update is for Valiry and everyone else who wished for real butterflies in the butterfly level.Background information: Originally, it was not possible to repair any living beings in the game. The reason for this was mostly the story. After all, what exactly happens if you repair a living being? Do you revive the original being or create a copy of the being? Is it alive? If you would repair a human, what would happen to their memories? Since you can only repair animals for now, I'll leave the philosophical questions to you. What's your Theory?Kind Regards,Developer Sarah DresselRead full article on Community Announcements (sarah-dressel)Patch NotesOfficial
Minor Patch: SFX Volume and More Hints
Hello dear pilots!The problems with the sound effect volume are now fixed. The SFX volume slider should now work as intended.I also added additional tips about the controls for new pilots.Little Hint: If you like you can change the keys in the settings.If there is anything else I can improve for you, please let me know.Kind Regards,Developer Sarah DresselRead full article on Community Announcements (sarah-dressel)Patch NotesOfficial
Minor Patches: Fixed the Pilot's Mask and Added Hint for Autosave
Hi there, fellow space pilots!Some players noted my mask wasn't fitting quite right, so I finally saved up the dissolve points to have it refitted. It looks much better now. By the way, I was not made by AI but came with a bought asset pack like all the other avatar images, as you can see in the credits. I know it's hard to believe, but even humans make mistakes sometimes. ;)In the previous patch, we also took care of the autosave function. The game is saved automatically every time we reach a station. This was always the case, but since players had a hard time finding the autosave function, a hint about it was added to the resume button. You can find it in save/load game > load autosave.If there is anything else you would like to see improved, let us know.Kind RegardsSpace Pilot Meredith & Developer Sarah DresselRead full article on Community Announcements (sarah-dressel)AnnouncementsOfficial
