PHOSPHOR
WAKE
Stay too long, and the stars remember you.
Something follows your ship through a neon galaxy. Not your coordinates: your history. Fly, fight, board derelicts, and jump to lightspeed before it catches up.

Inside
Run, fight, jump, remember
The Wake.
Every second in ordinary space helps it rebuild you. Past 40% it hunts you in waves up your own trail: Hollows, Lancers, Splitters, Lanterns. Break a wave and you buy time to explore.
Fly and fight.
Newtonian flight with a boost drive, twin pulse cannons, homing missiles, a rocket pod, scavenger gunships and four bosses. Top-down or from the cockpit.
Lightspeed you play.
Every jump is a run down a living tunnel: thread the gates for a clean jump, dodge the tendrils reaching after you.
Board on foot.
First-person missions through derelicts and silent stations, with the clock still running outside.
A three-act story.
Fourteen star systems, a crew to save, six endings, and a mystery about what you carry in your reactor.
Voyage codes and expansions.
Your whole voyage as one copyable string. New star clusters drop in as packs, starting with The Undertow.

THE UNDERTOW
Past Mirefall, a tide runs through space toward every place a ship has ever left. Chart it with a lighthouse keeper who lost her crew to it, through a nebula where light is slow, down to the drain at the bottom of the sky.
