What are the players doing?

The story takes place on a space station riven by wealth and corruption.The main character, a former garbage man, got a shop thanks to a suspiciously generous loan and now pays ever-increasing rent.You can start as a gunsmith, a chemist, a water dealer, a dealer in stolen goods, a farmer, or even from scratch, and later open up much darker occupations like organ trafficking.Each direction has its own risks: weapons attract inspections, chemicals cause addiction, smuggling leads to raids.

Every deal here is a bet.The buyer may be a security agent, a revolutionary, or a disgraced aristocrat, and the player decides whether to approve the deal, deny it, snitch, or turn a blind eye.A separate storyline involves cyborgs controlled by an out-of-control AI chip.

Price in Russia

On Russian Steam the game is sold for 449 ₽ with a 10 percent discount instead of 499 ₽.There is Russian language in the game.
