The launch of the Molena-Alvarez Research Vessel was a triumph. Up until this point, all space-faring ships had been military and for limited deployment. The MARV was first of its kind to be purely for scientific research, with no date of return. Four scientists, the best in their fields, were selected as the backbone of the crew. For the last member, a middle school science teacher was selected through a year-long reality competition. The pageantry of contestants raised money for the program, as well as encouraged excitement from the lackadaisical populace. Promising to send instructional and enlightening videos, the crew boarded and launched a one-way mission of discovery with no expectation of returning home.

Game takes place about a year into the MARV's journey as the characters deal with a new phenomenon - ghosts. This Sci-Fi Horror game was inspired by Star Trek and thoughts of what happens when you die. This game will look at themes of death, rebirth, reincarnation, supernatural horror, transhumanism, and genocide. Character backstories and gameplay may include elements of abandonment, adoption, death of a twin, academic inequality, personal disappointment, and anxiety. There will be mild sci-fi body horror elements which will be present but not visually seen. We will be playing online using a video chatting platform.

In game, characters may experience ghost sightings, possession and visions, and need to separate what is fiction and fact, reality and hallucination. Will you play the skeptic? The pious? Will you demand empirical evidence or take the leap of faith?
