Animals = Protein
Welcome to the second part of my Cosmos Chronicles adventure. If you
missed it, you can read part one by
clicking here. To recap, we witnessed our family being murdered. Thankfully, my uncle managed to pass on vital information before biting the
dust - to the north is a man with a wicked sense of humour. I
wanted more information, but he's dead - so I slaughtered his animals and headed to my spaceship.
You heard me correctly - gather food by killing bunny rabbits and other creatures. YUM!
Wait, did you listen to Cepece? I hope so because your first task is to seek
somebody called Grostonton, on a space station outpost. Until you have found
him, the adventure cannot begin because your spaceship is crippled and
restricted to this solar system. You should seek him, so hop into your spaceship!
When aboard, a robotic assistant called Wilson appears for a chat. At this
stage, he has little to say. So have a wander and check out the different
stations; it's overwhelming and quite a Sundog moment with a hefty learning
curve. Each part of the ship has a unique function that requires care, repair, and maintenance.
I plan to cover this in part three because it's complex. Until then,
have a play with your spaceship; get a feel for it. Here are some screenshots
from today's slice of the adventure. I'll see you soon for part three :-)
"Old Cepece" ... I think... means "old man". And he is just that!
(Sadly, there's no way to interact with cupboards/etc to search for items)
I'm on board Dad's old spaceship. It's called Cosmos, and it's all mine!!
(The circled tiles represent each of the ship's different functions)
As you can see, the Cosmos isn't in perfect condition. Three systems are damaged.
(It's way too early at this stage, but you will learn how to trade, repair, and install ship parts)
Having seen my family murdered, I was feeling... nervous. Thankfully, I found a toilet!
(hey, don't blame me for my typically British sense of humour!)
Cosmos actually has a shower. So, I took a shower. Much-needed water usage ;)
(I thought this was hilarious, and the tiny graphics are superb)
Ah, this will be helpful - a log of all outstanding quests.
(Hit return for the side missions, below. Again, it shows "pokindex" (your combat victories)
The ship also holds a list of side missions. One is near a black hole! :o
(Unlike many games, these are fascinating side events and doable)
I forgot about Grostonton and decided to take Cosmos for a spin
instead...
(I was getting used to the game, so I experimented... I then got
ambushed!!)
