Ashen Stars : Gumshoe Science Fiction (DEMO)

About the adventure

Your ensign looks worried. ‘Sir, it’s worse than we thought. The alien shuttle pierced the side of the ship. We’ve locked off oxygen loss, but something alive is loose down there. It’s in the engine room, and...’ The ship shudders from explosions somewhere aft, alarms start blaring, and all the cockpit lights flicker off. ‘...and I think it’s trying to sabotage us.’ A short demo adventure of Ashen Stars.
