By the end of the game, all the different puzzles and pieces of the story come together into a single meta-puzzle.

About This Game
A peaceful mission, a motley crew of autonomous programs, and no enemy vessels anywhere near the route — what could go wrong? Quite a lot, as it turns out, after a strange mid-flight disaster knocks out most of the H.L.S. System's subsystems. Mezure, the new administrator process, must guide the remaining crew through repairs — while navigating the growing sense that not everything aboard the ship is what it claims to be.
