Total Alarm combines narrative adventure and resource management with a star-spanning science fiction setting and a retro-future style. A once celebrated top-class engineer, you've been sentenced to menial work on the fringes of settled space. Your crime? Wrongthink, just one of the many violations that can prompt the Collective's harsh reprisals. In fact, you'll want to avoid the least slip in your efforts to keep the lights on and air flowing through the deep-space derelicts you've been tasked with maintaining. Only vigilance will keep you from the ultimate punishment: a short walk out of an open airlock.
