Theme or Problem

Create a deep space-themed RPG where the primary method of progression is puzzle-solving rather than combat.

Challenge: Your game must include core RPG elements (such as character stats, a leveling system, or branching dialogue), but you may not include traditional combat. Instead, players must use their character's skills and stats to solve environmental, logical, or social puzzles to survive the dangers of deep space.
