How it begins

In this humorous game, you play as the newly-awakened AI of a colony ship orbiting Gliese 581 G. You soon learn that the ship is heavily damaged, the cargo bays are empty, everyone is in cryogenic storage, and the planet has been rejected for colonization. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to take everyone safely back to Earth, which is 22 light years away.
