Station Zero: a space-station party game where one of the crew is not human
A research station has gone quiet at the edge of the system. Float its decks, patch what breaks and bag strange Samples, until the Breach hits and one of the crew turns out to be an android.
Station Zero isn’t open to the public yet. While you wait, Candlewake, our haunted-house party game, is free to play right now.
Play Candlewake free while you waitWhat is Station Zero?
Station Zero is an original online party game by Rucksy for 3 to 6 players. Every player is a crew member on their own phone, and a TV or laptop can show the station. Short on friends? AI crew fill the empty seats.
The station builds itself as you explore: the Main Deck, the Zero-G Ring above it and the Engine Deck below, different every shift. Grab Gear, log the Anomalies and bag the Samples nobody should have brought aboard. When the hull gives, one of 30 different endings begins, and one of the crew may be an android.
How a shift goes
Float the decks
Open every hatch on the station. Up on the ring there is no gravity, and every deck you find joins a station that is different every shift.
Log the Anomalies
Grab Gear, handle Anomalies and bag the Samples nobody should have brought aboard.
Survive the Breach
One Sample too many and the hull gives. Orders are sealed, and one of the crew may be an android.
What makes it different
Zero-G
The upper floor is the Zero-G Ring. Start your turn up there and you float one room further that turn.
But a punch in zero gravity just pushes you both apart, so fights up on the Ring roll one die fewer. It works the same for everyone, the android included: the Ring is where you run, not where you fight.

Questions
When can I play Station Zero?
Station Zero is not open to the public yet; it is coming soon to rucksy.fun. Candlewake, Rucksy’s haunted-house game, is free to play right now on the same site.
How many players, and do we need to be in the same room?
3 to 6 players. Everyone uses their own phone, so you can play together in one room or apart on a video call, and AI crew fill any empty seats.
Do I need to download anything?
No. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets and laptops, and a TV or laptop can show the station for everyone.
What is Zero-G?
Start your turn on the Zero-G Ring and you move one extra room, but fights up there roll one die fewer. It is the fast way around the station and a bad place for a brawl.
Is someone an android?
When the Breach hits, some endings reveal that one of the crew is an android working against the others, some keep it hidden, and in others the whole crew fights together.
