Astra Inania is a sci-fi visual novel with investigative and horror elements.

You are a space technician who owes a serious debt to the company that raised you. You've got a plan. At least, you believe you do. For the past year, you've been gathering data so you can leave the sector for good.

Now you're being sent to repair a Relay that has stopped working. Legally, they have to send at least two people, so they hire the cheapest Freelancer they can find and send you off. Twenty-two days on a ship with a complete stranger who is bigger and stronger than you.

What could possibly go wrong?

But more importantly...

What happened to the crew stationed at Relay 9?

"You are simply too stubborn to die"

This is an incredible work of art! 

The engine works flawlessly, the art is beautiful and I am absolutely in love with the prose! All pieces that are built look very professional and polished!
