About the adventure

Space is the final frontier, and humanity is eager to explore, exploit, and research what is out there in the deep, dark cosmos. The coldness of space, the inevitability of crashing asteroids, and forces on an unfathomable scale are just only some of the dangers that the meagre and ephemeral twinkles of human life must survive. Out there, buried by cosmic forces, lurking in the interstitial blackness between stars, and beyond human ken linger things that refuse to be explored, to be exploited, and elucidated. So many ships, so many colonies, and thousands of lives wink out in the blackness of the cosmos with not even a whimper in the deafening silence. You are just one these lights - a ship, a colony, a life - in your very own Little Universe of Horrors. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 Terrifying things are out there, and you're just human. Mere seconds, just a single bad decision stand between you and a horrific fate. Your mind is only human, too, and there is so much that mankind isn't supposed to see, supposed to know and experience. Do you have the guts to dive into the horrors beyond the Event Horizon, face Alien threats, and brave the Dead of Space? 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 Being a hero is how you get killed, and the dead don't get to enjoy their prizes. You're outmatched, outgunned and outpaced, there's no other way to cut it. What you got going for you is the same thing that got you here onboard a flying tin can - your brain. Be quick on your feet, have quick wits, and you just might survive to see another day. 𝗚𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 Explore beyond the safeties of charted space and common sense. You will find and discover many things both beautiful and horrifying, priceless and dangerous, and it's going to be on you to return with your spoils. 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 Mothership is a sci-fi horror roleplaying game that put the players into situations reminiscent of Alien, Event Horizon and Dead Space among many others. You play the part of a falible human trying to make a living in a terrifying and uncaring cosmos alongside their fellow crewmembers. It is cinematic and action-packed where every decision matters and can make the difference between survival or further catastrophe.
