TETHERPUNK

Play as Arya: junker, ship jockey, and fighter. Lacking working thrusters, her ship is equipped with her latest contraption: a grappling hook and an industrial stapler bolted together.

SCAVENGE SCRAP & KITBASH YOUR SHIP

Scavenge scrap tech and tear useful components from the bodies of corporate machines with your grappling hook. Bolt what you can find to the frame of your ship and use it for yourself.

MOVE FAST & SMASH EVERYTHING

Stack rockets to propel yourself as fast as you can handle. Turn turrets and explosives back on the machinery they're meant to protect. The faster you fly, the harder you'll hit on impact with anything that stands in your way. Your foes will knock what you've scraped together right off your ship, but you'll reinvent yourself and keep fighting.

IN A WORLD NOT BUILT FOR YOU

The asteroid mining gold rush is complete. Unrestricted corporate warfare has devoured every modicum of value and absconded with it. All that remains is barren rock and the workers left behind. Few prospects lie in the Belt, but it's home.

Machines stand poised to grind up the scarce remaining ground under your feet and transform it into ephemeral VALUE FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS that you will never see. An arm of the same machine has stolen your ship's ability to fly. You want it back. You'll pull yourself out of the bottom of this trash heap and take it back. You have no other choice. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
