SETTINGS

Stored in this browser and applied to every voyage. Changes take effect immediately.

DISPLAY
Terrain, trees and ruins cast shadows while you are on foot. The heaviest visual option โ€” switch it off if walking feels choppy.
SHADOW DETAIL
Higher settings sharpen shadow edges and cast them further out from you.
GROUND CLUTTER
Pebbles, ice chips and small flora underfoot. Low by default โ€” raise it if walking stays smooth. Extreme is ten times High. Applies the next time you land.
A live FPS readout beside the system ident. Off by default.
UI SIZE
Shrinks HUD panels, menus and the text inside them. Touch sticks stay full size.
AUDIO
MUSIC
The score behind flight and planetfall. Slide to zero to silence it.
0%
SOUND
Interface tones and confirmation beeps.
0%
RADIO LINK
Optional radio companion. Some Echoes ask for a Mission Control exchange; retry keeps progress unblocked when the link is down.
RADIO KEY
A Groq API key, stored in this browser with the voyage save.
FEEDBACK
MESSAGE
Sent with a short voyage log (mode, recent alerts, errors). No save file and no radio key.

HANGAR

Your ship, and the colour it answers to. Kept in this browser and carried into every voyage.

DRIFT

A pocket universe of procedurally generated star systems.
Scan each system, land on its worlds, and follow the Echo Archive through the ruins of extinct races.

Calm discovery voyage โ€” no hostile caretakers or dying stars.

TRAINING COMPLETE

Youโ€™ve finished Training Reach. Pick how you want to voyage:

EXPLORATION
A calmer discovery voyage. Scan systems, land, catalogue flora and sites, and follow the Echo Archive โ€” without hostile caretakers or doomed stars.
SURVIVAL
The full pressure cooker: suit vitals, planetary hazards, hostile caretakers, and systems that can go supernova. Same galaxy โ€” higher stakes.
