About this game
An Endless Stream of Space Debris
In the distant future, humanity discovered the mysterious substance 'Ether' and embarked on a path of explosive expansion. "What is left in the wake of humanity's conquest across the stars?" Philosophers, activists, and politicians debate this endlessly. But if someone asked you right now, your answer would be simple: nothing but a massive mountain of garbage.
Why?
Because you fell victim to a joint-surety scam and got dragged off to a waste disposal station on a prison planet at the edge of the galaxy. To get out of here—or just to survive another week—you have to work every single day to pay off your massive debt.
The endless junk pouring onto the conveyor belt day after day isn't just trash; it's a recyclable resource and your only ticket to salvation.
Unlock numerous blueprints and use over 15 different crafting tools. Grab the debris, process it, and transform the scraps into high-value goods.
Do EVERYTHING yourself.
You can't just pop down to the local mart or visit the neighboring planet's mega-mall. This is a prison you know.
You have to make everything yourself—from the tools you use, to the very opportunity to escape this hellhole.
Betting and Gambling: An Irresistible Temptation
Sick of doing honest work? Of course you are, Who doesn't?
Fortunately, there's a place even in this miserable joint for people who want to get rich quick.
And for those people, this prison offers a very tempting alternative.
Welcome to the weekly Arena—where the line between "sports" and "bloody gang warfare" is practically non-existent. As a non-violent financial criminal, you aren't allowed to fight in it (or even watch it, really—you just get bullied out of your lunch money). But hey, the betting pool is open to everyone!
Chase that jackpot dream by betting on the Arena, or try your luck at the infamous fair matching game that has bankrupted countless inmates before you.
That is... if you have a really sharp eye.
Use Your Words, Not Just Your Wrench
"No man is an island"—and that goes double when you're locked in a space prison.
Buy insider info from sketchy brokers to conquer the betting pool with actual strategy, or eavesdrop on the bartender for some juicy tips. Interact with a colorful cast of inmates, complete their quests, and reap the rewards.
Will you reclaim your hope and buy your freedom through endless, grueling labor? Or will you just be buried alive under an infinite stream of cosmic trash...?
And more importantly... can you uncover the dark secret hidden deep within this station?
