Game Features Include:

  • Unique Crewmember Abilities – Each crewmember has a special power to help them outsmart HAL and stay one step ahead. Use your unique abilities to dodge the computer’s tricks and stay alive!

  • Multiple Victory Conditions – HAL wins if three systems are terminated or if Life Support goes down. However, the crewmembers can win by completing three logic sequences in the HAL Core. It’s a race against time—and HAL’s relentless sabotage!

Ready to take on HAL and save the Discovery One? Rally your crew, strategize your next move, and gear up for an epic battle of wits and survival.
