You're a future soldier deep in enemy territory, where every choice could be your last. Through dice rolls and pencil notes, you'll hack systems, steal secret VHS tapes and wreak havoc before attempting escape - if you survive. The fun lies in balancing risk vs reward with limited resources, just like the B-movie sci-fi that inspired it. Best part? It's print & play - just print, assemble and start your mission. Perfect for fans of solo challenges with retro-futuristic vibes. ## FAQ ### Can you play with more people? No, it's strictly solo - that's part of the challenge! ### How long does a game take? From 15min (if you die fast) to 90min (full mission) ### Does it need many components? Just common dice, pencil and the sheets you'll print ### Is it hard to learn? Rules are simple but the game itself is challenging ### Worth it for non-sci-fi fans? Only if you enjoy hard solo games - theme is strong
