What Star Citizen is

Star Citizen is an adventure game developed by Cloud Imperium Games Corporation and released in 2013. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on StarEngine.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The hum of the fusion drive reverberates through the ship's hull. It reminds you that you should probably replace it soon. A quick check on the MobiGlas says there's an Aegis showroom on the planet you're heading to. Couldn't hurt to see what they got, right? With the Credits you make delivering this cargo, you should be able to buy your ship a little treat. Besides, she's your bread and butter. You roll on your side and look out the window at the vast yawning space outside. A distant planet silently orbits a dying sun.
