Skip it if you…

Our take on Times and Galaxy
The game centers on reporting rather than combat, so players looking for action-driven systems may find fewer of them here. Its assignment-based structure also gives the story a defined newsroom framework instead of an open-ended career simulation.
What is Times and Galaxy?
Take on an internship at the Times & Galaxy as its first robo reporter.
Choose assignments such as shuttle crashes or intersolar cat shows, travel to investigate, question sources, and gather clues. Conversations and choices affect what information becomes available and how characters respond. At the end of each assignment, build an article from the material collected; interviews and investigation shape the options for the story. Editorial decisions affect its tone, reactions from colleagues and readers, and the holopaper’s reputation. Between assignments, explore the Scanner newsroom, meet its crew, find seeds to restore the Garden, and select a chassis and paint job. Upgrades can also be requisitioned from the ship’s Shuttlebots.
