All roads lead to blind failure.

Pros: 1. It's a rich, well-developed space opera setting. 2. Most of the characters are compelling. 3. The challenges are difficult enough to feel challenging, but not so hard as to be frustrating. 4. Like most Choice of Games games, you can customize your character's identity and choose your relationships. Cons: 1. The actual decisions made within the game are often not as interesting as they could be. 2. Despite "captain" being in the title, you're not actually promoted to captain until quite late in the story. You spend about the same amount of time as a kid as you do as a captain. 3. Characters can die very suddenly with very little recourse. Overall, I thought it was decent, but not great. I didn't regret playing it, but it may not be for everyone.

I loved this game! It's a super thorough CYOA. So many macro-level decisions, such as your species and what you study, affect the game in really interesting ways, and there are so many paths I didn't expect at all. For example, choices that I assumed were "skip this choice" options actually lead to really interesting storylines! The secondary characters also play important roles and experience full character arcs depending on your decisions, which is really cool. They feel like full characters whose stories you're also telling! I like that each of them has an ending of their own, in addition to all the endings created from alternate storylines. I had a ton of fun in my first playthrough, and I replayed it a whole bunch almost immediately to explore some of the different paths.
