Introduction

In the expansive cosmos, a newly discovered nebula stirs up more than just stardust. Amidst this vibrant expanse lies a perplexing puzzle cloaked in mystery and danger.

As a lone adventurer, you are tasked with navigating through the uncharted nebula, aiming to decode the bewildering signals and chart the stellar formations.

But be wary – the nebula is rife with spatial anomalies that distort and scramble your ship’s sensors, adding layers of challenge to your solitary journey.

Overall Goal

The spatial anomalies present a unique obstacle, complicating navigation and sensor functionality, which demands your adept problem-solving skills to adapt and persevere.
