Prepare for a breathtaking escape aboard the USCN Kronos! As a crew member, you're trapped on a burning spaceship with a hungry alien predator hunting you through the corridors. Panic sets in: the captain is in despair, the pilot is injured, and even the ship's cat is missing! Your mission is clear and urgent: help everyone, unlock the lifeboat, and reach it before the creature finds you.

Simply print the 20 cards, choose one of the four available game modes, and use the actions indicated on the card edges to navigate the ship's modules, evade the alien, and ensure your survival.

It's the perfect sci-fi adventure for those who enjoy a tense, fast-paced challenge with a retro, minimalist feel. Do you have what it takes to escape before it's too late?
