Coming of Age
This game tells the story of wildly creative kids coming of age in difficult
times, leaving their childhoods behind while confronting a strange
and devastating otherworldly threat. Their ingenuity, friendship, and
obsessive love of rockets are their greatest strengths. They must lean
on one another, discover themselves, and jet into danger to protect the
people and places they love.
Rockets
The main characters of this game are obsessed with rocketry. They
each have a unique rocket-based creation—their Rocket Rig. Rockets
represent our heroes’ agency in the world, their ability to create, adapt,
and fight back. Their rocket creations allow them to impact the world
around them and enact radical change.
The Club
At its heart, this is a game about friendship. Our heroes face challenges
together and lean on one another. The club holds them together, bound
by common goals and the understanding that no one is in this alone.
