Overview

About this game

Forsaken Cargo is a choice-driven visual novel inspired by the golden age of 1960s science fiction. It combines deep narrative branching with moral dilemmas, political intrigue, and retro space-opera atmosphere.

Story

War tears through the P-9 sector. Three powers—the Zhaki Sun Kingdom, the Sinriss Biotech Collective, and the Veltar Matriarchy—fight for control over a world whose rare mineral could alter evolution itself.
You play as Melchor Fouquet, a spacer whose routine transport mission spirals into espionage and interstellar conspiracy. Each decision you make can turn allies into enemies and shift the balance of an entire war.

  • Player choice matters: moral, political, and personal decisions shape the fate of planets and characters.

  • Approx. 4–6 hours of playtime for a single run, with strong replay value.

  • Save/load at any point and fast-skip read text for multiple playthroughs.

Themes
