Close Encounters
Close Encounter is an adventure game where the player takes on the role of stranded astronauts trying to make it back home after crashing onto hostile planet controlled by sentient machine spirit named Ida who demands nightly sacrifice in form of technology. The objective for today's update was a brief summary, 10 sentences or less, about how you can use your spaceship and ancient crashed space ships as weapons against other players' spaceships during the game play with objectives to gather enough parts from abandoned ship ruins and escape through mountains on another planet controlled by Ida using her demands. The player will explore each night for a chance at collecting two orbs that they may later trade or sacrifice in order to repair their spaceship, eventually escaping back home only if successful without facing any harm caused by the machine spirit's demand of nightly sacrifices which can be fixed with spare parts from crashed ships and possibly trading them as well.
