ABOUT THE GAME

A dark science-fictional ritual of fertility and regeneration, King of Space takes place in an abandoned starship, circling the edges of a plague-ridden and collapsing solar system, where an escaped terrorist meets the last star-captain and his ship's Priestess. Old man and young, young woman and ageless starship meet and meet again as enemies, allies, and lovers.

The story has elements of gaming. An unwise move can send a character to the kitchen ("hundreds of tiny sandwiches, all alike") or into the rocky caverns of the intelligent and unpleasant starship, where a very persistent elevator is waiting to have a conversation. You can meet the Lady Nii's ancient, dreadful lover, King Brady, or become him. You can fall into a maze of love, or find the dance at the center of the world that regenerates the ship.

This reconstruction involves new art and illustrations, multiple mini-games, interactive environments, and complex gameplay.

Not suitable for children.
NEW FEATURES
Updated Interface
This new version of the 1991 version of King of Space, by award-winning writer Sarah Smith, updates the interface of the original game to make gameplay more intuitive for contemporary audiences. A new navigation strategy enhances the game's narrative, and a persistent menu allows players to access additional information for a better game experience. You can play the games by themselves, read the narrative, or do both together.
Full Color Design and 3D Models
Originally built on the Hypergate platform designed for Macintosh computers and floppy disk technology, this new version of King of Space offers exciting multimedia content. Full-color images in the style of a graphic novel visualize the haunted world of the Greatship. 3D animations and models bring the characters to life. The original soundtrack evokes mystery and newfound hope for a world weighed down by plague and tyranny.
Updated Game Audio and Original Music Compositions
The game now features an all-new soundtrack of 11 songs created by composer Ransom Reed and hosted on Soundcloud. The music includes theme songs and remixes for the four main characters—Lady Nii, Priestess Aster, King Brady, and Tam Rosse—as well as music envisioned to enhance the story's mood.
