It is the dawn of the second age of mankind, taking the first steps into living off world and become a truly multi-planet species. The global resource wars of the mid-21st Century, limited nuclear exchanges, border skirmishes, coups at the highest levels of government. The dwindling, declining population of Earth was at breaking point. From the break of destruction, arose a planetary government that took drastic measures, putting the last of the resources of humanity into a moon shot, literally, to mine and harvest the resources. The petty interest of despots fell to the side, as humanity suffered and was no more than a century away from potential extinction. It was a bloody period, disaster after disaster, tragedy after tragedy.
Spoiler
But humanity prevailed, Luna became a thriving colony, with an abundance of helium-3 allowing the small colonies to thrive, while providing Earth with the energy needed. Mars, though further away, overcame the hardships of the environment, becoming a center for innovation and technical development. From the brink, to a interplanetary species within two decades. But humans were always humans, and the greed over resources and power became all too apparent, the people of Mars demanding independence from Earth, the people living within the resource rich asteroid belts, feeling oppressed by both. It was a powder keg that blew over into a full blown inter-space war. Despite this, the past one hundred years have been relatively peaceful, but something threatens to upset the balance soon.

NEW CONTENT
- Why not stop off at the Eclipse Cafe for a coffee and then enjoy the Wild West in the Holosuite program - this is particularly interesting if you have ALICE in your head on the scicence path. Otherwise it is a nice romp with a potential encounter with a prostitute or two.
- The Jazzbar has all sorts of interesting people here, perhaps you can get in trouble...
- The clothing shop has a lot of interesting, why not try on some new dresses from the eTranz corporation? Their science department have developed new materials are second to none!
- There are now three unique quests depending on your initial choice - military, diplomacy and science.
- The science path has several bad ends, as well as the usual ALICE hijinks on the holodeck. You can also get involved in some not so ethical experiments.
- The military path has a couple of bad ends for our main character, as she gets into bed with a shadowy organisation and learns more about the overall situation.
- The diplomacy path .
- There are also two exclusive sex scenes in the diplomacy path
CUT CONTENT
- The second holosuite program, Rough Landing, has been moved to a later section. This is due to development time but also because it didn't make sense to force a player to choose between two simulations when I can just move one to later in the game.
- Save the girl you find in skiff. This was simply time.
- Sabotage the experiment for the good guy option. Time restraint and ran out of ideas on how to do this. Will be in future patch.
- Ambassador Yukio punishment scene or sex scene. Should you fail the diplomacy path, she'll offer a commiseration drink in her hotel room in which she'll punish you with some S&M play. If you pass, she will give you the option to "play" instead. If you're dominant, you have the option of turning the tables.
- Have full on sex with the secretry. Will be implemented in future content patch and will depend on a character's corruption levels.
v.010b
Additions
- Music and ambience added to most areas.
- Sound effects added through out the game.
- Missing text about the "Ceres Meeting" has now been added.
- Walkthroughs added with game rar. Not perfect, but gives a general idea.
Quality of Life
- WEBMs have been muted. You can still turn the sound on if you right click on the WEBM.
- Fixed a few typos and misaligned boxes.
Greed
- Patreon page added. Click Patreon button on main menu.
V.010a
Additions
No new content, added a few new pieces of music.
Bug fixes.
- Fixed the help page, unclosed macro fudged it.
- Fixed the trip with the Admiral not having a link.
- Status menu does not display until game starts.
- Coloured some of the text when people are speaking, missed a few.
Quality of Life
- Added more text to make it clear when you can't do something in a particular path.
- Adjusted the timers in the timed texts to give more time to read. Sniper texts you now have about 15 seconds, up from 5 seconds. The transport hub, you now have 60 seconds, up from 30.
- Added a new passage for the opening, so if you change your mind on your path, you don't have to scroll through the text again.
- Removed restart button and replaced it with "Help". The restart button was kind of redundant and just led back to the main menu, which could be achieved through merely just re-opening the game. Help page is now accessible through out game and has more information.
Features
- Optional file which re-enables the back button, find in the optional folder. This is untested and unsupported, as I did not design the game with the back button in mind.
v.010
Beta release candidate. Still need to do some reworking and balancing of the mental health system. Still no triggers, though several are planned and designed, it doesn't do much yet apart from change pictures. Being able to view the inventory also needs implementing.

Not a bad quest, but a bad porn-game. There are some problems with the convenience and scaling of interfaces. Navigation by keywords in the text is not the most convenient solution. Also the delay before the appearance of the text and time-limited events while you are reading the text, suddenly you lost. You should also add an autosave option when switching between locations. But the biggest problem - there is no any journal or quest log. As well as passwords that need to be entered manually, which of the words are passwords, while it is not always clear and it is not clear then where they should be looked for. It was much better to make a trigger after receiving the password that would allow you to enter the found code automatically.

A good start and enough completed endings to warrant a playthrough. Has the potential to be a 5/5 all time great HTML based story with a lot more investment from the dev. For now I'll rate this 4/5 (rating the game as is) with the point lost from the lack of content.

A decent and interesing quest with almost no porn content. I like the fantasy aspect and the story is a unique one. However, we are here in search of a porn game. With hope that this story will be updated. Will definately keep an eye on this one.

Version: v0.10b When it comes to HTML games, this games devs takes a bit more adventurous road and decided to try to make a murder mystery/puzzle game. And when it comes those two aspect, i can tell that the devs have put in some effort and work to make it happen, yet its difficult for me to say if they made the puzzles interesting. As of now, the game is still too early in its development for me to properly judge. Yet the puzzle may be simple, i still found them enjoyable for what they are, the murder mystery is there, with some characters here and there to mess you up or help you solve the mystery. Overall i think this game could be a fun and somewhat unique game given time and effort, good luck devs.

A golden-era RAGS game without the crappy interface of RAGS. Great writing, great worldbuilding, great pictures, and great potential. I was pleasantly surprised at how much content was included in the first release, and with it appearing that each update will introduce a chapter, each update should contain a solid amount of content. Also, I would like to congratulate the dev on choosing to focus on a female protagonist. Too many games lock you in as a male protagonist, so having a little variety where the female isn't always a submissive object to be "conquered" by the male MC is a good plus in my book. This game can definitely become one of the greats in the RAGS/HTML puzzle genre like Tales of a Drunken Cowboy , Lost in Laminate , or Legacy of the Ancients . The Expanse references are also refreshing!

Have to say, I was surprised on just how intrigued I was with this game. Here are my thoughts. First, just found the premise that this takes place in the far future where humanity is spread across the solar system and you can start out almost anywhere, well, that opens a huge universe to explore. Entire planets to explore, a detailed political and news system, mysterious murder/disappearance of your farther, friends to call, places to explore with puzzles that are just challenging enough to solve. On top of all that, meeting the A.I. Alice that uses every chance she can to corrupt the protagonist into being naughty. This game is going to be huge. That is a good thing, this game is ambitious. Just worried that this is too much to do. I came to this game to have Sci-Fi style porn. Drugs and experiments that you can willingly participate or forced to do if made a mistake. Was really looking forward to just taking a break from the main story of the death of your farther and just chilling out in the asteroid belt, offering your (sexy) services (especially if you are a scientist who can turn people into bimbos) while keeping an eye out for agents after you. This can even lead to interesting story potential as you try to understand who created ALICE and why she is trying to make you (possibly people) slutty. Did enjoy the moments in the story. Meeting Alice felt earned as you had to solve a puzzle to get to her and the game punishes you for fully trusting her. Really liked that. Second, liked the train station where you had to get creative to scrounge up enough money to book a ticket off Earth. Now, I do not understand how someone who lives in a mansion is poor, but the event was cool. How to find items in the warehouse while freeing a slave (beautifully foreshadowed that sexual slavery exists in this system). Third, liked the visuals. You really do feel like you are in a Sci-Fi world. Filled with mechanical drones, spaceships, mechanically/electronically locked doors, etc. The porn itself was kind of tame. Though that might be because I have not seen all the crazy endings the protagonist can end up at. Though as I alluded to at the beginning, the best thing this game needs is just more. More story for the different paths of leaving or staying on Earth. I would be willing to help you develop the game by offering feedback on the story, characters, and smut if you need a beta reader, game tester, ideas, etc.
