From the Kickstarter page:
Tau Station is a digital expression of love between an expansive and beautifully written science fiction novel and a grippingly immersive, massively multiplayer role playing game.
Platforms:
* 2020 and after: Browser game
* 2022 and after: Everything is open
The chamber you awaken in is shrouded in dark silence, very much like your mind. Soft, blinking lights from hologramatic readouts provide the only illumination as you struggle to grasp some semblance of self. Memories, a sense of identity or even purpose are all absent. Fragments of emotion, of concepts bob to the surface of your mind like wreckage in a dark sea.
Fear, danger, hope...Catastrophe.
THE Catastrophe, a near extinction level event that all but wiped us out so many cycles ago. It burned across the galaxy wiping out 95% of our population. Nobody knows why it happened, who could have caused it, or even if it could happen again...
With your mind, your body begins to wake. Movement brings motivation, purpose. Your memories are not returning. And yet, these disjointed fragments, the lack of anything more substantial, they present a freedom: the freedom to decide what and who you want to be.
The darkness fades...everything is a possibility.
On Tau Station, you will live, feel, and experiment. The "how" is yours.
A world and stories presented through beautifully written prose.
* Hundreds of space stations spanning many star systems survived 'The Catastrophe'. Through their time cut off from each other, they evolved into unique cultures and societies. They celebrate the diversity of humanity while still acknowledging the need to work together for a better future—or, sometimes, they don't.
* Thousands of branching missions explore people's lives. You will laugh, cry, and recoil in horror. You will also discover the guilt of difficult choices when you believe you need to succeed at all costs.
* Who you are leads you to be selected in helping discover what caused the Catastrophe, the near extinction level event that pushed humanity to the brink of oblivion. And, more importantly, to find out whether it will happen again! The choices you make will be remembered. Will you try to save humanity or profit from the chaos?
Deep, immersive RPG systems offering multiple types of progression and customization.
* Humanity has evolved into six distinct "genotypes" to help thrive in different environments. Choose and change between these genetically pre-designed archetypes to best suit your current needs.
* Choose one of many careers to advance in rank and unlock new profit paths.
* Take university courses to unlock hundreds of skills.
* Biometric stats are trainable in specific locations and offer multiple pathways through a mission.
