This is where you come in. Choose to play one of six characters: Mandorax, the wandering robot cowboy; Grash, the bloodthirsty anarchist; Melacantia & Ib, a transdimensional traveller looking to destroy the alien parasite known as fungalyte; Piers Fallcray, a gunslinger with a terraforming seed that could save the world; Sol Syrium Quell, the augmented reality showman; and Xota Xoran, the Fixer ready to jump ship. Each character has their own personal goals to accomplish with multiple possible endings.
On top of your personal goals, you will also need to complete some bounties and encounters to gain the right resources, items, and reputation.
