Our take on Trajectory
The game trades a tightly fixed narrative for player-directed variation: following or rejecting orders and exploring for records can change how a run unfolds, while the anachronistic humor limits its fit for players seeking consistently serious science fiction.
What is Trajectory?
Play as an inmate nearing the end of an undisclosed sentence aboard an Orbitek prison vessel in Earth's orbit.
Daily routines and missions range from maintenance work to dangerous exploits, with orders delivered by an onboard warden. Those orders can be followed or rejected. Exploration covers the inmate module, Earth, orbital areas, virtual reality, and locations beyond Earth. Different playthroughs can lead to different endings. The setting combines dystopian science fiction with humor and anachronistic technology, including floppy disks, ASCII flight displays, and text-adventure minigames. Exploration can reveal background material through collectibles such as journal entries and computer logs. The game supports VR headsets.
