Our take on Lost Crew
The premise centers on astronaut survival, but the described play is organized around text, dialogue, and finding information. The crew’s rescue depends on timely coordination, while the page gives no comparable emphasis to direct control of the station or physical survival systems.
What is Lost Crew?
Lost Crew is a text adventure about rescuing astronauts from an orbital station lost in time.
The player coordinates a small crew and communicates with five characters, whose actions affect one another. Each astronaut has an individual personality, history, and relationships with the others. Progress depends on finding key knowledge that opens additional dialogue and options, while responding to situations and coordinating the crew’s work in time. The journey reaches both the station and unusual locations, including a dead planet, a giant’s belly, and a star’s surface. Character conditions, equipment, and objects are shown in illustrations, with a soundtrack accompanying the adventure. The game has 32 possible endings, ranging from total destruction to a happy ending.
