At the beginning the player starts in a space station and finds out that the earth was destroyed. After the player enters the spaceship, it drifts away into the vastness of space. On the planet that the lost spaceship is orbiting, the player finds a portal that takes him to an outpost. Once at the outpost, the player receives various quests from quest givers who accompany him until the end of the game (scanning of all artifacts of each class). The player receives further quests that do not contribute to the end in villages and at camps. After repairing the spaceship and while completing the quests, the player can move freely in computer-generated space.

Style of play

First, the player creates his character by choosing different colors, hairstyles and races. After a tutorial , the player can move around freely, but only after he has repaired his spaceship and built or upgraded his "protection package" . Then he can move freely between space stations, portals, planets, the outpost and the spaceship via teleportation and propulsion of the spaceship. Planets consist of given structures (e.g. dungeons , villages, etc.) and computer-generated structures (e.g. biomes , landscapes, etc.). The player receives pixels (currency) when mobs or dungeon opponents appear on the planet and when they are killed. with which he can buy items from vendors that can appear almost anywhere. The player can use the crafting system to create various items. Objects and pixels can also be found in dungeons.
