About the game
A quiet space game with no enemies and no score: you fly to a star, land on a planet, walk around and write what you saw into a shared logbook.
Written almost entirely in assembly by one person, Alessandro Ghignola, and given away for free.

How this runs
The game runs through a DOS emulator inside your browser: the emulator, the files and your saves all stay on your device and nothing reaches our server. The emulator, the licensing and what to do about a black screen are explained on the retro games section page.
FAQ
How big is it and what loads?
The game archive is 1.7 MB plus about two megabytes of emulator. It loads once — after that the browser keeps the files cached and the next launch is instant.
Can I play on a phone?
Yes. The game uses a mouse, so on a phone your finger is the cursor: drag to move it, tap to click.
Are my saves kept?
They are, but only in this browser on this device — they are written inside the emulator. A different browser or a cleared cache means starting over.
