Hadley's Run: A Starship Saga

Experience an African space western adventure with beautiful graphics and engaging gameplay. You are Hadley Orah, captain of the Starship Musafir. Can you use your wits, creativity, and all-round badass gaming skill to turn our nuggety protagonist from a reluctant smuggler into a certified intergalactic killing machine?

An unlikely hero, Hadley is trying to get back to Earth and escape the DraadMek, an alien AI menace, after jumping through a wormhole with an untested piece of technology and ending up on the far side of the universe.

This game balances electrifying action with heart and soul. You’ll fight overwhelming enemies, obliterate powerful bosses and meet an array of weird and wonderful aliens such as //o||\\*, a poetic sentient nebula, the terminally existential Void Droid Hoolihan, and Ick the Blob, barkeep at a deep space drinking den. Uncover a story as big and old as the universe itself.

With every attempt to return home Hadley learns more about the universe and his place in it, building upon ever evolving relationships even as he battles the AI menace that threatens all of existence. Permanent upgrades improve your odds of survival, while upgrade floppies ensure each attempt is a unique opportunity to try something new.
