‘Voyageur’ Is an Upcoming Literary Space Exploration Game Supported by ‘Fundbetter’

As its webpage puts it, Voyageur is “a literary space exploration game, a procedurally-generated science fiction novel," and though there’s more detail regarding the game, I’m already sold. I enjoy both science fiction and choose-your-own-adventure games, so Voyageur is definitely saying the right things. The game has you playing as a galactic traveler on a one-way journey towards the galactic core, and on the way there you get to recruit a crew, meet all kinds of strange cultures and civilizations, dig up ancient ruins, and boldly go where no man has gone before (the last one is my addition). You’ll get to build relationships with your crew members, and enjoy traveling in a setting inspired by contemporary sci-fi works.

Voyageur is one of the first five games to be funded by Fundbetter, Failbetter’s fund for independent narrative games and interactive fiction. I’m glad for Failbetter’s initiative because I do enjoy my narrative games, and anything that makes even more narrative games a possibility has my full support. Voyageur is planning a Q4 2016 release for both iOS and Android and will be a premium app.
