King of Space was authored by Sarah Smith. "Working with her were visual artist Matthew Mattingly and musical composer Michael Druzinsky. It is described as 'A dark science-fictional ritual of fertility and regeneration', King of Space takes place in an abandoned starship, circling the edges of a plague-ridden and collapsing solar system, where an escaped terrorist meets the last star-captain and his ship's Priestess. Old man and young, young woman and ageless starship meet and meet again as enemies, allies, rapists, and lovers. The story has elements of gaming; an unwise move can send a character to the kitchen ('hundreds of tiny sandwiches, all alike') or into the rocky caverns of the intelligent and unpleasant starship, where a very persistent elevator is waiting to have a conversation; you can meet the Lady Nii's ancient, dreadful lover, King Brady, or become him; you can fall into a maze of love, or find the dance at the center of the world that regenerates the ship. Contains games and animations. Not for kids." -- Eastgate Systems, Inc.
