TextSpaced blends the style of more traditional text adventures with modern principles to create a text-based MMO set in a shared, procedural and hostile universe.
The sandbox nature of the game leaves you, the player, the freedom to decide at any point what to do next. The narrative of TextSpaced unfolds organically, so you can choose to uncover the mysterious past of Old Earth, affiliate and forge relationships meeting both real and non-player characters - or simply pirate yourself to fame and fortune.
