Escape Pod Omega

HAS BEEN CANCELLED

by Jacob Coughlan

2195: Humanity is deeply entrenched in a prolonged inter-stellar war with an aggressive alien race, the Mactavi. Due to the danger of attack, travel between friendly star systems is only undertaken aboard heavily armed faster-than-light warships.

You were aboard such a ship, the ESS Helios, when disaster struck. Without warning, a co-ordinated series of explosions caused the destruction of the mighty vessel. Sabotage! Luckily you, and a handful of others, managed to get aboard an escape pod in time. Strangely, it seems yours was the only pod that managed to launch.

You and your companions are utterly alone, with no faster-than-light drive, light-years from help. Trapped aboard this cramped pod, your head swims with questions: What happened? Why did we survive? Who is the saboteur, and are they one of my companions? Will we be rescued? What about the dreaded Mactavi?

Escape Pod Omega is a game of claustrophobic paranoia and suspense, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock and Harry Harrison.
