Pitch
Distant future.
Humanity 🌍 has conquered distant galaxies and spread throughout the universe 🚀.
Panic in Space follows screen-mediated exchanges 👨💻👩💻 between planets, ships and space bases separated by thousands of light years.
Unfortunately, distance doesn't help: between interplanetary racism 👽, out-of-control technology 💾 and a certain existential nostalgia 🥺, it's not easy every day.
But revolution is brewing...
