Overview

Mirastell starts you off with no memories of your past, no equipment, and no allies. Its up to you to explore the ship, learn about its history, discover the fate of the crew, and eventually escape.



The ships passengers and crew may be missing, but you will quickly realize that you are not alone. Also onboard is The Arcadia, a mysterious and hostile AI that is constantly present throughout the game. The Arcadia is always watching, and always trying to stop you.

Gameplay

Weapons
Mirastell has a large collection of weapons to choose from, each with its own unique feel. They can be unlocked through a variety of methods, including crafting, completing quests, or discovering them in the world.


Upgrades
Some weapons can be upgraded to gain additional perks. These upgrades are obtained in the same way as normal weapons and are meant as a way to ensure that you are able to invest time into your favorite equipment, and perfect your loadout.


Armor
Armor can be collected in similar ways to weapons and upgrades, and provides perks or stat-boosts that help you during combat.


Mods
Combat mods are craftable items that improve your performance during combat. These mods come in 4 tiers, and you can have 1 mod of each tier equipped at a time.

During combat, defeating an enemy will give you 1 point of energy, activating your tier 1 combat mods. Defeating more enemies will activate more mods, powering you up as you fight the Arcadia.

Mods are built to work well with other specific mods, weapons, and armor pieces. Carefully combining these tools will allow you to become extremely powerful.

World and Story

Mirastells story is shrouded in mystery. Over the course of three years, this narrative has been developed into a dense web which you will slowly unravel as you play. Our goal is to provide a simple, and satisfying plot that can be understood by anyone, and a deeper story for those who are more interested in digging into the story. The game will even have multiple endings, depending on the decisions you make along the way.



The Arcadia is an important part of the games story, and its relationship with the player develops over the course of the game. The Arcadia is present at all times, constantly taunting the player, and impeding their success.
