Concept
Story
You've just woken up from Cryosleep, and are trapped on a spaceship way off course, floating in space. Now your plan is to chart a way back to an habitable planet using just the information given by the ship's datalog.
Objective
The game is finished when you've steered your spaceship back on the right course.
Target Audience
The intended audience of this game is people who have an interest in puzzle and an unique spin of exploration style gameplay.
Game Mechanics
After waking up from Cryosleep you use the information given by the datalogs to set a new course of your spaceship. For instance, you could use triangulation to determine your approximate distance to another planet. Or find an incoming transmission giving you a hint where to set your course to.
After setting up your desired conditions, you then determine how long your next sleep cycle should be.
Your decided parameters, and the set time of sleep, determine how your game continues once you wake up again. You may have slept for too long and missed the right timing, or you may have set the wrong parameters and steered in the wrong direction again.
Characters
Your player character is the only character in the game
Outcome
If everything input is done perfectly, you can finally end your journey through space and settle down on a new planet.
Game Interface
The Game Interface consists only of your ships console and all its dials, buttons and screens used to put in all your commands
