About the quickstart:
In Coriolis: The Great Dark, you are part of a crew of explorers ready to venture out into this new universe, the Lost Horizon. You have your shuttle, your trusted crewmates and a warding guardian in the form of your bird – a strange alien creature that can help you on your journeys.
You all have your separate backgrounds and homes in the asteroid-metropolis called Ship City. You are employed by a small guild – the Explorers Guild – and are ready to take on the missions they will give you.
Delving into the ruins will bring out the best of you all. You’ll have to overcome dangerous environments, face creatures from the dark, and endure the ubiquitous Blight, a plague affecting both mind and body. And other crews of explorers will become your opponents as you vie for the same artifacts and knowledge.
In the metropolis of Ship City, you may take on missions and investigations to help your guild and build your crew’s reputation with the other major players of the city.
