Ironseed 2: Consensus

Sequel to a sci-fi exploration game Ironseed written in 1994, the story continues in Ironseed 2: Consensus! It’s the 38th century. Earth is legend, long lost to time. Humanity now clings to survival on terraformed Mars — a world ruled by the Pentateuch, five cyber-priests who crushed dissent and built a brutal technocracy. But rebellion sparked in the shadows. The Ironseed Movement, a group of exiles, created a virus to dismantle the planetary AI systems and escaped aboard a stolen prototype starship. Their plan: vanish into deep space and wait for the technocracy to collapse. They were never heard from again. Now, the story continues… You awaken alone, drifting in a crippled ship. The systems are offline. Weapons: gone. Memory: fragmented. The crew? Scattered — you are jettisoned into deep space under unknown circumstances. This wasn’t the original ship. It’s a backup, a failsafe — secretly loaded with your crew’s preserved minds in illegal containment vessels, and launched in parallel. A second chance... but barely. You are the captain. Your first task: recover your crew. Only together can you rebuild the ship, uncover the truth, and determine what comes next. There’s no clear destination. No home to return to. Just a fragile hope that somewhere out there, life can begin again.
