Your life is saved by the mask of Kasturi, an explorer who disappeared trying to deliver a warning of impending disaster. You'll have to pretend you're her in order to survive. Investigate Kasturi's past, discover her social circle and find out what happened to her. Will you take on her role in order to save the city? Can you afford to drop it?Wrestle with your words and make meaningful choices
As a lonely space explorer in an identity crisis, your social anxiety makes it difficult to open up to others. Dialogue options - your thoughts - have different emotional weights: some things are harder to confess. Depending on your relationship, your openness to another person can change over time, and new topics can become available. Play it safe and stick to smalltalk, or try to squeeze in difficult topics - and risk being misunderstood.
Express yourself with holographic emotes
When you make friends in Koriol, some will give you holographic emotes :D Use them to in dialogue to convey a certain tone and change the course of the conversation. Emotes show off your connections and grant you access to people and places.
And they let you flip off anyone who's earned it.
