+      Endless Sky is a sandbox-style space exploration game. You start as the captain
+      of a tiny spaceship and can choose what to do from there. The game includes a
+      major plot line and many minor missions, but you can play as a merchant, bounty
+      hunter, or explorer entirely at your own discretion. Trade goods between star
+      systems, upgrade your ship, recruit a fleet, and uncover alien civilisations
+      beyond the boundaries of human space.
