Is 60 Parsecs! worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Fans of survival adventures who want resource management and difficult choices
- Players who enjoy dark comedy set in a science-fiction world
- Strategy players who prefer crew management and permadeath over a fixed journey
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a relaxed space adventure may find the 60-second evacuation and limited supplies too demanding
- Players wanting a fixed, predictable campaign may not enjoy procedural events and permadeath
- Players looking for space combat or direct piloting may find the focus on survival choices, crafting, and crew management too narrow
Our take on 60 Parsecs!
The evacuation premise gets prominent billing, but the longer activity is survival management after launch. Scarcity, expeditions, crafting, crew relationships, and permadeath shape the broader play loop beyond the opening escape.
What is 60 Parsecs!?
60 Parsecs!
is a dark comedy science-fiction adventure set in the Atomic Space Age. A space station is about to explode, giving the player 60 seconds to gather crew members and supplies before escaping by shuttle. The journey that follows involves managing limited supplies, making difficult survival choices, sending the crew on expeditions, crafting survival items, and exploring strange new worlds. Crew relationships can change as the astronauts live together, while procedural events and permadeath shape the adventure. The objective is to find a new home, although the crew may not survive the journey. The setting combines Cold War paranoia, retrofuturist details, soup shortages, and improvised equipment.
