History VideoGame / Seedship

* ColonyShip: The titular seedship.

* TheCoup: A random event will have a dictator be found within the colonists. If the player chooses to not remove the dictator, or is unsuccessful in doing so, the dictator will end up taking over the colony at the end of the game.

* SadisticChoice: These frequently happen throughout the game. Events will pop up where you are often faced with options having to decide between saving colonists on your ship, or risking damage to ship components.
* SlaveRace: Depending on the ships science and cultural database along with the technological level of the natives, colonizing a planet with natives can end up with the natives enslaved by the colonists or vice versa.
* SleeperShip: All the colonists are frozen on the ship itself.
* SolarSail: The ship uses this for travel.

* InteractiveFiction: The entire game is text-based, although a planned FanRemake plans to add graphics to it.

A FanRemake featuring graphics and new features titled ''Seedship: Relaunch'' is currently in progress and is being discussed at a discord here: https://discord.gg/annCaDD along with the Seedship [[{{Website/Reddit}} subreddit]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/seedship/comments/l7nrzf/seedship_fan_remake_progress_update/ here]] You can play the web browser version of the beta [[here https://alexjyong.itch.io/seedship-relaunched-mirror]].

* FasterThanLightTravel: Averted. The ship flies at sub-light speeds, and it takes thousands of years to get just to ''one destination''.

* UnspecifiedApocalypse: The event that destroyed the Earth is never explained.

* ApocalypseHow: Somewhere between Class 4 and Class X-2 inclusive. We know that the Earth is doomed, but if the text referring to the location of Earth being "as silent as any of the other myriad dead stars" means anything, the Sun could be gone as well. Seeing that the creators of the ship didn't point it to [[ColonizedSolarSystem Mars or Europa]] (despite the fact ship has the resources to successfully build a colony on a human unfriendly planet), X-2 is very likely.

* FanRemake: ''Seedship: Relaunch'', with graphics and new features. At the time of writing, it's currently in progress. Has a fairly active Discord [[https://discord.gg/annCaDD here.]]

* Panspermia: One of the game over dialogues mentions the titular ship crashing into a planet and the bacteria and organic matter from the remains of the colonists leading to the creation of new life.

We know that the Earth is doomed, but if the text referring to Earth's sun being "as silent as any of the other myriad dead stars" means anything, the Sun could be gone as well. Seeing that the creators of the ship didn't point it to Mars or Europa (even though the ship has the ability to settle on a human unfriendly planet), X-2 is very likely.

* HumanPopsicle: All the human colonists are frozen until the end of the game.
* NoBiochemicalBarriers: Averted and played straight with alien flora and fauna. Planet candidates can have plants and animals that can help your colony, hurt it, or have no effect whatsoever. Averted with planetary atmospheres though; as planets with hostile atmospheres will require the colonies to have life support built in them. Attempting to settle a poisonous planet with significantly damaged construction equipment and/or a damaged scientific database can result in a GameOver.

* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: The Dyson Sphere event has you running into aliens that have done this. You can choose to join them if you desire. It's an extremely rare event however.

* DysonSphere: A very rare random event has finding one of these during the game, and interacting with it will allow the player to enact the Simulation ending if they accept the alien's offer to take in the ship.

* InsideAComputerSystem: One possible ending has the ship and colonists be digitized into an advanced alien computer system within a Dyson Sphere.

* TwentyMinutesInTheFuture: Dialogue in the game suggests that the ship was launched during the Information Age, which is the present age at the time of writing, but the technology on the ship is definitely a few decades out at the very least.
