In a far-future where humanity has expanded across the cosmos, you play as a rogue astro-hacker named Lyra Quade who intercepts a mysterious signal that has been drifting through space for decades—the 'Wow! Signal.' This signal holds coded messages from an ancient alien civilization. As you decode its secrets, you're thrust into a high-stakes race against corporate mercenaries, government agents, and a shadowy alien entity that wants the signal silenced. Your choices will lead you through space stations, abandoned spacecraft, and even secret interstellar communities while piecing together the truth behind the signal and your own past.
