A notable addition to the Steam library has emerged, as the sci-fi game Space Pilgrim Episode II: Epsilon Indi, originally released in 2016, is now available for free on PC. While this offering may pique the interest of sci-fi enthusiasts, potential players using the Steam Deck should be aware that compatibility is currently listed as “Unknown.” This uncertainty raises questions about the handheld device’s ability to run the game smoothly.
Game Overview
As a sequel to Episode I, Space Pilgrim Episode II: Epsilon Indi is priced at a modest .99 under normal circumstances. Despite its humble origins, the game has garnered a positive reception, boasting 426 user reviews on Steam, with an impressive 89 percent rating. This has earned it a classification of “Very Positive.”
The narrative unfolds one year after the events of the first episode, following Captain Pilgrim as she navigates another journey filled with intrigue. The official description hints at an engaging storyline: “Captain Pilgrim is once again carrying a shipload of passengers between star systems. This time her guests include a mysterious priestess, a wayward youth, and a robotics genius. Little does she know that this latest journey will set her off on another hazardous adventure, involving a shadowy government organization known as the Jackals.”
Players can expect a gameplay experience lasting a couple of hours, accompanied by a mature content rating. User reviews reflect a mix of charm and quirkiness, with one player noting, “A very fun and quirky little game series about rebellion in a small sci-fi setting. I enjoyed a lot of the background world-building and the characters are very charming.” The gameplay primarily consists of straightforward fetch quest puzzles, which some players find acceptable given the game’s RPGmaker origins.
While Space Pilgrim Episode II: Epsilon Indi is currently free, this offer is time-sensitive, available only until June 26. The reasons behind this promotional decision remain unclear, especially since other titles in the series have not been made available at no cost.
