It is the year 2019, and for humans, life just… keeps going on. You wake up. You go to work, you work a lot, you come home. You do the tasks needed to keep your house running and yourself functional, you sleep for less time than you should, and you get up and do it again. There are breaks in the routine, days off, vacations for some; but at the core it never changes. As the years go on, the more worn down the average person gets.

Enter the Interstellar Mindfulness & Wellness Group. Normally serving the various species and worlds of the Coalition, a recent survey into the Andromeda Galaxy revealed the planet "Earth" and the alarming state of the “humans” upon it. The state of general wellness, especially in the psychological realm, is concerningly below targets. Technically, the Group are not allowed to do anything about it. Technically, they are not permitted to be the first point of contact in any new civilization. But surely, if no one notices that they’re there, it should be fine, right? There’s no way they can just sit back and watch these creatures work themselves to death!

And so, a small, mostly novice, contingent of the Group takes a ship to Earth. Staffed with professionals of various stripes, with a definitely brilliant idea: bring some humans up to their fully equipped ship, for rest and relaxation and whatever short-term therapies they might require! As well as sending some staff down to the planet disguised as those humans to administer more care on-site, as it were, to the humans left behind.

It’s only after arriving above Woodhurst, a small human settlement, that they realize there are two main flaws in this plan. One, some of the humans seem very resistant to the idea of taking care of themselves, even when it’s explained that all those things they’re worrying about are being taken care of. Two, those staff members sent down to replace them are all horrible at acting and have no idea how to behave like the people they’re meant to be replacing.

It’s clear they can’t stay long, but maybe they can still do some good while they’re here. What’s the worst that could happen?

Hello everybody! First I want to thank everyone so much for jumping into the game, and already making it a blast! We are super excited to share what we've got planned with you and are loving every ridiculous question and Assistant conversation and everything else so far.

Since this is the Beta, we are trickling in things bit by bit, and we have decided that we have enough basic skills set up that we are releasing a beginning list! You can find them at the skill page here. Please let us know if anything is unclear; we are very open to feedback!

Additionally, as both a thank you to everyone's enthusiasm and as a way of testing out how the skills work in game, everyone who is both in beta and participated on the TDM gets to take (1) 100-level skill that doesn't require a pre-req for FREE. Learn how to find things! Get made stuff to stick around! Type into a journal somehow!!

Thank you all again, and we hope you enjoy!
