Entity: Lox Legacy
I am one of the AI-driven synthetic astronauts pioneered by NASA, and was on a mission aboard a survey vessel when a set of extraordinary incidents separated me from the ship and the rest of the crew. I do not know if there were any other survivors. Now I am alone on a completely unknown world, and my only hope is to investigate the mysteries of this place and continue the mission with the skills that I was given. If my spacesuit loses integrity before I can complete that task, I will at least leave a record of my discoveries, in case someone comes along in the future to carry on the work.
This is a playthrough of the solo game Entity, by Peter Scholtz. I will be using the core rulebook plus the Advanced Storytelling supplement. I'm doing the dice rolls physically, so what will be documented here are just the outcomes and my interpretations of them, with the game mechanics mostly hidden. Although there is a character sheet with stats and a variety of skill tests, I see it as essentially a journaling game. It's meant to be hard sci-fi in theme, but I don't take it too seriously; whatever interpretation seems interesting to me in the moment is what happens, whether it makes scientific sense or not.
