Step onto the bridge of the Rusty Nail and out into the Obsidian Wastes, a desolate sector of space where every decision carries the weight of life and death. Obsidian Wastes is an immersive, choice-driven sci-fi text adventure where your actions shape the narrative, determine the fate of your crew, and unravel the ancient mysteries of a forgotten galactic empire. As a freelance void-runner, you'll navigate a branching storyline filled with treacherous anomalies, ruthless corporate syndicates, and enigmatic alien technology. From managing catastrophic reactor failures to rescuing stranded companions from black-market poachers, the Obsidian Wastes will test your leadership at every turn. FEATURES: • Deep Narrative RPG: A beautifully written, interactive sci-fi story where choices matter. What kind of Captain will you be? • Branching Storylines: Multiple narrative arcs—including the Love Story, the Pet Companion, the Reactor Crisis, and the Transcendent Alien—all featuring significantly different outcomes based on your decisions. • Meaningful Consequences: Your choices directly impact the lives of your named crew members. Save them through heroic actions, or mourn them when the math of survival demands a sacrifice. • Dynamic Stat System: Rely on your Combat, Tech, and Charisma stats to overcome checks and negotiate your way out of tight spots. • Ship & Upgrades: Manage the Rusty Nail’s hull integrity, accrue credits, and acquire rare artifacts like the Data-Drive to aid your journey. • Multiple Endings: Forge a new galactic Concord, establish a Sanctuary Network, or find a quiet shore to retire on. Your ending reflects the alliances you built and the people you saved. The galaxy is vast, dark, and unforgiving. Do you have what it takes to survive the Wastes?
