What is Approaching Infinity?

This turn-based space roguelike takes place in a procedurally generated galaxy. You captain a ship, explore planets and wrecks with an away team, fight or negotiate with alien factions, and upgrade your ship and officers. An optional quest asks what happened to a human colony, while faction quests and free exploration provide other paths.

For you if...

+you enjoy exploring procedurally generated space across multiple runs
+you like choosing between faction quests and free exploration
+you want to customize a ship and away team

Not for you if...

−you want a tightly guided story instead of open-ended exploration
−you prefer real-time combat to turn-based battles
−you want a short campaign rather than extended progression

Players praise the freedom to explore, pursue faction quests, and develop a ship and crew. Critics describe progression as long and repetitive, and say crafting materials and other systems can feel inconsequential.
