The premise

You have just pulled off the score of your lives. The Orpheus Core is in the Aeternum’s hold, and the captain has promised to split the sale across the whole crew.

During the hyperspace jump the lights went out. Eleven seconds exactly. Then came the lurch, and the ship surfaced where it should not be: a graveyard of vessels orbiting a lightless star.

The jump regulator was opened and recalibrated by hand. Someone in this crew brought you here, and they are still aboard.

What makes it different

  • No murder on stage: the tension is about trust, not forensics.
  • Group decisions that change what happens during the session.
  • Eight characters whose interests never quite line up.

What kind of experience it is

  • Negotiation
  • Secrets
  • Decisions
  • Cooperation

Who it works best for

For a larger group that would rather negotiate and decide together than hunt for a body.

What you need

  • One phone per player
  • An internet connection
  • To be together in the same place
  • 30-40 minutes

The cast

Every player receives one of these characters with their background, secrets and objectives. Nobody sees anyone else’s sheet.
