Embark on an interstellar journey in Gen7: A Crossroads Game! Earth is at its limit, and humanity's only hope lies with a ship that's been traveling for six generations towards a new home. However, just as a new command team takes over, a sinister mystery begins to unravel secrets that put the entire mission at risk. You, the new commanders, will discover that things are not quite what they seem, and the future of the human species depends on the choices you make. Inspired by the acclaimed Dead of Winter, Gen7 is pure narrative, full of branching paths and infinite possibilities.

It's a game that tests your limits and makes you ponder what truly matters when everything is at stake. Get ready for an epic adventure where humanity's survival is in your hands!
