Name Type Description Points Of Interest
Episode One: Little Star Episode The opening episode, played largely as sleep technician Tomas Carter as the crew comes out of hypersleep. Cryosleep wake-up First body discovery Tomas Carter as player character
Episode Two: Best Laid Plans Episode The second episode carries the crew from the wake-up into the failed survey, with the ship's damage and the mission timeline closing in at the same time. Early trust decisions Ship damage assessment
Episode Three: The Sample Episode The episode that puts the alien material aboard. The recovered sample First mimic evidence Shipboard stealth sequences
Episode Four: Dragnet Episode A pursuit episode built around Young moving through the ship's vents while the crew tries to close a net around something they cannot see. Vent crawl stealth route Bridge control panel and extendable walkway Pari Simms' body Bridge fight scene
Episode Five: Mr Williams Episode The mid-campaign episode, and one of the run's biggest kill points: a single scene here can end a crew member depending on how the earlier trust decisions went. Major character death scene Late-run trust checks
Episode Six: Hostile Takeover Episode The life-support episode. Control splits between Stafford and Cooper on one route and Cernan and Eisele on another as they go to fix the CO2 scrubbers, and the cramped engineering spaces make this the campaign's most reliable place to lose two characters at once. CO2 scrubber repair Paired character sequences Skip condition for Episode Seven
Episode Seven: Revelation Episode The payoff episode. The survivors make their way to the bridge and its scanner, the only device that can prove who is human, and the mimic plot resolves into a confrontation rather than a chase. Bridge scanner test Impostor confrontation Skipped if the crew is wiped out in Episode Six
Episode Eight: Come True Episode The finale, resolving the Cassiopeia's mission and the fate of Tau Ceti f. Multiple endings Survivor-dependent epilogue
