If you like murdle, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, and other logic puzzles, you'll love Aboard the Erida!

Your local spaceship is in the middle of a labor dispute with a dose of sabotage! Only a detective like yourself can ease the tension, and lead communication between the crew members of the Erida. Use clues from around the ship to question witnesses and suspects. Solve the mystery of the ship saboteur!

(all of these games are in development although if you want to help us get them out faster, please #volunteer your game design skills!)

Die titelgebende, 13-jährige Protagonistin erfährt im Spielverlauf eine ganze Menge über sexuelle Orientierungen, Geschlechtsidentitäten, Konsens, Bedürfniskommunikation und ihre eigenen Vorbehalte. Ob diese Vielfalt sich auch im Gameplay widerspiegelt, erfahrt ihr in unserer ausführlichen Rezension.
