About this game

The quest for freedom! When you can't remember who you are, where you are, and even what year it is, then you know trouble cannot be to far away... Held Captive for two hundred years in an orbiting space prison for a crime you didn't commit, you are desperate to escape from your electronic jail. Armed only with a briefcase computer found in the corner of your cell, you start sending out SOS calls to the battling world outside. Eventually you find a motley crew of four droids ready to help bring about your escape. ...so begins your quest to freedom!

Trill, the main character, is judged guilty (indicted for a crime he did not commit) and ordered in a space cryogenic prison for 250 years. 248 years later, he awakes, but without the memory of who he is, where he is and why he was imprisoned. In the corner of his cell, which had doubled as a store-room, the prisoner finds a "briefcase computer" which gives him control over a group of four droids on a space ship. Now he must use these droids to find and free himself.
