A fast and wacky roguelike that tells the story of one interstellar crew and their adventure across the universe as they try to complete their final mission. Just one more job and everyone is set for life! But unfortunately, it's never that easy. Embrace your calling as anything from a Pleepian space babe to a Blurg scoundrel while flyin', flingin', and fightin' your way through countless inter-stellar hijinks.
Deep Spacin' is a rules-lite TTRPG built around the comedic adventures of an alien crew. Assign dice to five basic stats, pick up some gear, and build out your ship with modular rooms and equipment to make the run easier. Using your wits and a lot of duct tape, navigate through Zones and their encounters to finish your final job and get a lifetime payout. Don't worry if you lose someone! They'll come back once you leave the Sector - assuming the ship's still in one piece.
