“We, the creators of the Torment Nexus, are now suing the writers of the classic science fiction novel ‘Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.’”
Big tech corporations have finally figured out who is to blame for their crappy products: science fiction writers.

fun demo, by the folks who made staredenn!
Have you played the new demo of Cosmo Cargo?

No? Well, here are a few solid arguments
- inspired by FTL
- modern & accessible autobattler
- more than 1h+ of content already
- support indie devs
but most importantly…
