► BUILD YOUR SHIP. JOIN THE WAR. The galaxy belongs to those strong enough to claim it. Build a powerful spaceship, challenge other commanders in PvP, join an alliance, and fight alongside your allies in massive Alliance Wars. Every upgrade, every module, and every decision brings you closer to becoming a force the galaxy can't ignore. Will you build the ship everyone fears? ► CREATE A SHIP THAT'S TRULY YOURS Start with a basic vessel and turn it into a machine built for battle. Collect weapons, shields, engines, armor, and special modules, then combine them to create your own setup. There is no single perfect ship — only the one that works for you. ► WATCH YOUR BUILD COME TO LIFE Once your ship is ready, send it into battle and watch your strategy play out. Weapons open fire. Shields absorb incoming attacks. Special abilities turn the tide. A setup that looked perfect in the hangar may need to change after meeting its next opponent. Upgrade, rebuild, and try again until your ship can handle whatever the galaxy throws at it. ► CHALLENGE OTHER COMMANDERS Your toughest opponents aren't waiting at the end of a mission. They're building their ships right now. Take your strongest setup into PvP and see how it performs against other players. Improve your build, climb the ranks, and come back stronger after every battle. But you don't have to conquer space alone. Join an alliance, grow together with other commanders, and enter Alliance Wars where every member can make a difference. Fight for victory, valuable rewards, and your alliance's place among the strongest in the galaxy. ► EXPLORE THE UNKNOWN Beyond the safety of your hangar lies a galaxy filled with dangerous sectors, hostile fleets, mysterious encounters, and valuable resources. Travel from sector to sector, complete missions, defeat increasingly powerful enemies, and discover what waits deeper in space. The farther you go, the greater the challenge — and the stronger your ship will need to become. Every new destination is another test for the vessel you've built. ► KEEP GROWING WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Your journey doesn't stop when you leave the game. Come back to new resources and fresh opportunities to improve your ship. Spend your rewards on upgrades, unlock new possibilities, and prepare for the next mission. Jump in for a few minutes or stay to perfect your build — there's always another upgrade, battle, or sector waiting for you. ► YOUR SHIP. YOUR ALLIANCE. YOUR GALAXY. The hangar is ready. The next sector is waiting. It's time to take your place among the stars. Privacy Policy: https://say.games/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://say.games/terms-of-use

23:41. Your phone lights up. Unknown number. "You don't know me. But I've been told you might be the kind of person who doesn't ask too many questions when things get complicated." They say their name is Alex. At least, that's the name they're using tonight. Dead Source is a thriller that arrives in messages, in real time, over days. Alex writes when Alex needs you: a public-records lookup at lunch, a favor at midnight, a question at 03:12 that you have about ten minutes to answer. You reply in your own words. Or you don't. Silence is also an answer, and Alex will move without you. You will be good at this. That is the problem. THE LINE - A conversation, not a menu. Suggested replies are there when you want them, but the text field is always open. Say it your way. - Real time, and it means it. Alex goes quiet for an hour because Alex heard something. Messages land on your lock screen with no app branding, from a contact you were told not to name anything obvious. - Decision windows. When one opens, a timer starts draining. If you say nothing, the story continues without you. It does not ask twice. - Sleep is optional. Night messages are off by default. Turning them on is a choice you make, and it is less a settings toggle than a small confession. THE RIG Reached from the conversation, never from a menu, because you never leave the conversation. - Build it. Credits earned from operations buy hardware and software. Segmented progress bars, install states, and one locked module Alex will not explain. - Run ops. A dead drop with more than one right answer. A market position where greed is a real option with a real cost. A phone call you have to make in someone else's voice. - Watch the Heat. Five segments. Elevated. Critical. And when the trace starts, the hops burn top to bottom, toward you. THE RECKONING - Four endings, separated by moral posture, not by score. Doubt buys you one. Complete trust buys the most intimate one. Working out what is really happening, and helping anyway, buys the largest. - An after-action report that reads back your own record. Not your stats. The things you actually did, and what each one taught. - One ending almost nobody finds on a first run. It has to be earned by understanding, not stumbled into. NO JUMP SCARES. NO GORE. NO MONSTERS. The unsettling thing in Dead Source is always a correct-looking system doing something very slightly wrong. A timestamp that does not match. A process you did not start. A folder that appeared on your device an hour ago, sealed, signature verified. Against what key? For people who like their science fiction cold, procedural and adult: near-future, over-lit, plausible. The horror is not that something is hunting you. It is that it was good company. ACT I IS FREE Play the whole first act, around twelve minutes of real conversation, before you decide anything. If you want the rest, one purchase opens Acts II and III, all four endings, real-time mode, and the parts Alex has not told you about. One time. No subscription, no energy timers, no ads, no second currency. Your record carries forward. Nothing resets. ACCESSIBILITY Dynamic Type throughout, AA contrast on all essential text, VoiceOver support, and a "reduce distortion effects" setting that disables every glitch visual without cutting a single story beat.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Dead Source at none against Idle Space's shown. Idle Space's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
