Celestial Exodus

Celestial Exodus

A Bible-Based Space Adventure/RPG/TBS/Simulation Game

Notice: This game is currently in the Alpha stage of production - not everything is working, and you need a high resolution display - 4K if you've got it. I know my 2019 MacBook Pro can handle it, so a new-ish desktop system should as well. You will have to give the app permissions to run and to access your Documents folder. It comes in a .zip archive. See the carousel or scroll to the bottom of the page for download buttons.


Various Factions Encounter, Join, and Conduct Diplomacy With Varying Factions

When you have constructed a communications array in at least one of your colonies, you are able to contact and conduct diplomacy with any of the factions in the game. Declare War, Send Spies, Enter Into Research Agreements, Defensive Pacts, Trade Agreements, and Full Alliances. Factions vary in their values and goals and at least one is downright evil.

Your Decisions Change the Course of the Galaxy Various story arcs are possible through the decisions you make from day one. Will you be virtuous? neutral? shadowed?

You begin in Chapter 0 - Initiation, where your selected faction has certain objectives for you to complete. Will you follow orders? Modify them? Or reject them and go your own way? Chapter 1 is the beginning of a story arc, and it can evolve with your choices. Moral dilemmas, striking a balance, good and evil, what will you choose?

Explore A Diverse Galaxy of Star Systems Every playthrough is unique, with a randomly generated galaxy of star systems with planets and moons, some habitable, some mineable, some both, some neither.

Most planets and moons are explorable and may hold hidden treasures, scripture scrolls, mineable resources, and more! Some stars are harvestable, and some planets or moons may be volcanic or frozen making colonization difficult but possible.
