Faster Than Light
A downloadable game
Faster Than Light is a Wretched & Alone game inspired by the videogame FTL, a solo journaling game about perseverance and about being the AI that controls a spaceship warping through the galaxy in order to save humanity.
My Patrons (all tiers) get this game for free, so if you want to check it out, here's the link for my Patreon.
In this game you will take on the role of an AI keeping records of everything that happens to their ship and to their crew as trying to reach the Rebellion Settlement, where you will finally be safe.
You’re on the run.
You’re the onboard AI of a Rebellion ship that has seen better days.
Within your databanks is stored the information needed to sabotage and disable a weapon of mass destruction controlled by the Empire. Your goal is to navigate through the four solar systems ahead of you in order to deliver the information to a safe haven. It will be hard and it will only ever get harder. The rebels are counting on you. You’re their only hope.
You’re on the run.
You will give characteristics to yourself, to the ship you live in, to the crew that works on it and to each of the four Solar Systems that you need to cross to arrive to a place where all the information you've gather is put to good use.
Find the 4 long-range relays, travel around the space, keep record of it, survive.
The Empire won't make it easy for you, they have better weapons, better ships and it's a whole army against you.
You will need to play it:
- A standard deck of cards without jokers.
- One six-sided die.
- A block tower (in case you don’t have one, here are some alternatives).
- A journaling device: the recommended option is a notepad document on a computer, something with computer-y font.
This game is inspired by The Wretched by Chris Bissette and by FTL: Faster Than Light, by Subset Games. I used the Wretched & Alone SRD by Sealed Library to design it.
This was made for the #RPGLATAM monthly challenge about videogames.

I'm working on other game options more accesible (plain text and so on). Sorry for the inconvenience.
