Exodus (Ludum Dare 54)

A strange and terrifying cosmic field has surrounded the galaxy, shrinking every day and devouring space stations, outposts, colonies and entire worlds. Nothing that passes beyond the negation field’s event horizon has returned.

The only hope is a transgalactic portal that leads to another galaxy, far away from the negation field.

You are the captain of a ship heading for this portal. You must survive this journey by managing resources and crew numbers with the ship’s limited space.

Will you brave distress calls, refugees, pirates and interstellar plagues and lead your crew to safety? Or will you fail and be lost, adrift in the darkness of space?
