Star Chasm is a space Action-Adventure. Set in a universe far far away where the resistance is fighting against a tyrannic government when suddenly a strange illness strikes mankind and threatens the survival of the human race. The Player is a freelance pilot who can trade various legal and illegal goods, fight against various enemies, explore dozens of star systems and find some hidden treasures. The Storyline will allow the player to choose between good and evil and bear the consequences. The universe is filled with NPCs, honest pirates, corrupt police officers and efficient bureaucrats who can be talked to via a dialogue system. NPCs will send the player to side quests and reward him so that he can buy himself new upgrades for his ship or even a new ship.
The demo consists of 2 star systems, a few scripted missions and generic missions. Trading is possible as well as upgrading the ship within limits.
Hi folks, I just received this alien transmission with my satellite TV dish:

Dear Earthlings,
the Xorix Overmind, Alturb III, extends a welcoming hand to the inhabitants of earth in form of an invasion fleet… just kidding. We have no intention of using vast economic resources to build an invasion fleet that, by the time it reaches earth, will be completely outdated. Instead our great Xorix Overmind sends you peaceful greetings and the Alpha demo of the space adventure “Star Chasm”.
In game you will be a free trader flying through a 2,5d environment trying to make a buck by free trading, flying generic mission and succeeding in several scripted story missions. The game features a storyline in which course you earthlings will come to admire the sheer awesomeness of our Overmind Alturb III and his peaceful ambitions.
Your in-game space ship can be equipped with various weapons as well as you can equip your in-game avatar with various space ships. With your ship you will encounter friendly characters as well as unfriendly ones (which you will probably have to shoot – but remember its all in the name of interstellar peace!). There will be dozens of star systems to explore which will feature space stations, asteroid fields and the already mentioned friendly and unfriendly characters.
Our Overmind, in his tremendous wisdom, has decided to give you earthlings the power of control through the mouse and the keyboard.
If you, after playing the game, feel the urgent need to obey orders from our insanely incredible Overmind Alturb III, please be assured that this is a perfectly normal side effect and nothing to worry about.

This is a second alpha work in progress release of the demo, so be patient with us. Despite of this I encourage all, that are interested to share their thoughts and opinions regarding this game demo.
Thank you and have a nice day.
