Sector Unknown

 
Ships burn in the dark. A pod slams into sand. In Sector Unknown, the first breath is grit in the teeth and a target on the back. Crawl from a crash on Maku, stake a claim, and push outward—planet by planet—until a forgotten sector starts saying the player’s name in fear or hope.
What it plays like
This is an isometric, story‑first CRPG with modern pacing. Choices punch above their weight. Combat is viable, but the smarter route—skills, dialogue, planning—often beats a bigger gun. A home base anchors progression: research trees, deep crafting, bounty terminals, and a strategy layer that turns small wins into a sector‑wide uprising.
The loop lands clean. Scout a planet, read a faction, make a move. Some nights it’s diplomacy. Other nights it’s glass‑cannon builds and desperate kites in narrow corridors. Either way, the campaign remembers. Planets return to the story with changed states, new trouble, and opportunities unlocked—or lost—by earlier decisions.
Why it hits

Origins and personality: Background and traits twist combat and non‑combat routes with new checks and unlocks.
Six core attributes: Strength, Coordination, Vision, Speed, Aggression, Intelligence define aim, tempo, survivability, and interactions.
Two skill pillars: Technical (Engineering, Science, Computers, Biology, Finances, Piloting) and social (Intimidation, Persuasion, Perception, Luck, Larceny) gate real outcomes.
Base as brain: Research branches keyed to skills, crafting on a large materials matrix, bounty board for high‑risk side money.
War Score: A sector ledger for the uprising—recruit, fortify, and move fleets as the campaign reacts.
Planets with identity: Dust storms on Maku, rival crash sites on Nabi, frozen deserters on Eremtera, cult heat on Helfyr, lawless docks on Sjo.

Core features at a glance

Isometric CRPG combat: Read positioning, spend AP smart, and lean into builds that truly scale.
Branching role‑play: Skills and background drive outcomes, not just flavor text.
Research & crafting depth: Dozens of materials feed weaponry, armor, shields, injectors, even starships.
Sector strategy: Grow alliances, defend gains, and watch the map shift under pressure.
Bounty hunting: Track marks across worlds; higher tiers unlock through research and risk.
Reactive planets: Choices echo—doors open later because others were closed today.
