About

Text-based adventure set in 2186's asteroid belt. You're a lone miner piloting the M.C.S. STARCROSS, hunting quantum black holes—rare energy sources that power humanity's moon, Mars, and asteroid colonies. The game unfolds through typed commands as you scan sectors, investigate anomalies, and decide which signals warrant closer inspection. Your ship carries specialized detection equipment, but finding a black hole means navigating both technical challenges and unexpected threats in deep space. Success hinges on interpreting sensor data correctly and managing your vessel's systems during critical moments. The parser responds to standard adventure game verbs, letting you examine objects, manipulate ship controls, and piece together what you encounter. Built for players comfortable reading technical descriptions and solving logic puzzles without visual aids.
