Strange Adventures In Infinite Space

[eMTe]

In the 22nd century, colony ships were programmed to search for earthlike planets along trajectories calculated to visit stars with the best likelihood of habitable worlds. One such ship with its crew and passengers in cryostasis traveled over 2300 light years before a suitable planet was found.

Hope is a temperate world located in the Glory system on the edge of a vast nebula often referred to as the Purple Void. The nebula is unique in that it contains many unusual star types and other peculiar phenomena.

Over 100 years have passed since the colonists first arrived. It is a new beginning of deep space exploration. Technology has improved and mankind is no longer dependent on slow cryoships and robot probes. This is the setting of Strange Adventures In Infinite Space.

Worse, it's a demo.

The demo is a considerably scaled-down version of the full game and is designed to help players become familiar with the SAIS game system.

Yes, it was just a demo that was free. But then Digital Eel made the whole game freeware (like they did with other games before). So you can download the complete game from their homepage for free:

Companies rarely change websites after releasing full commercial versions as freeware. Usually it goes the same way: please click on "buy full version" to download game for free. Ive seen it tens of times.

So does anyone have some contact info for these guys, as they have too many good games out there for us to ignore. We have permission in some read-me's but not for this particular one, so we need to get in touch with them regarding this...
