Derelict Delvers
"Good evening, Margotnauts, and welcome to another episode of Derelict Delvers..."
Step into the shoes of Margot Verse, the host and star of mystery-solving reality show Derelict Delvers, as she takes on the Orchid Wren, a civilian freighter left to the void. Piece together the clues to uncover the truth behind the ship's sudden abandonment, determine the fates of its crew, and put on another great episode of the best derelict-delving show in this particular sector of the galaxy.
Inspired by the likes of Outer Wilds, Return of the Obra Dinn, The Case of the Golden Idol, and The Roottrees Are Dead, Derelict Delvers asks you to parse the clues you find and solve the mystery on your own. You'll have to pay attention if you want to satisfy your curiosity...and your overeager director.
Derelict Delvers was made by Team ElseWare in 31 days for NaNoRenO 2025.
