Tacoma Review

Posted: 10 months ago, last updated 6 months ago.

Overview

Tacoma is set aboard a space station in the year 2088. As you explore you can discover how the station’s crew lived and worked, using an AR device that lets you review past actions and conversations, you discover clues that unravel a plot of trust, fear and resolve in the face of disaster.

"We're here together, that's what matters," says one of the characters. It's a statement about their relationship but also about how we deal with unexpected events and untimely endings. It's a game about a group of workers overcoming corporate greed and ultimately finding hope.
