The Sim

The USS Eventide is a collaborative writing (simming) game focused on exploration, discovery, and the unknown. Set during the Federation's first great age of exploration in the 2180s, Eventide follows the crew of a dedicated scientific expeditionary vessel operating beyond the edges of known space. Our stories emphasize curiosity, first contact, archaeology, scientific mysteries, and the difficult questions that arise.

The philosophy of Eventide is very simple: exploration is a team effort. Every member of the crew, regardless of rank or department, has the opportunity to influence the direction of the story. The ship's scientists, engineers, physicians, specialists, and officers are all explorers in their own right, and many of the most important discoveries come from the laboratories, away teams, and the discussions between crewmembers trying to understand the unknown.

Our missions are designed around major story milestones rather than rigid scripts. While each mission has an overall direction and narrative structure, the journey between those points is shaped by the writers themselves. Players are encouraged to contribute ideas, develop discoveries, create complications, and help build the world around them. Creativity and collaboration are valued far more than simply following a predetermined path.

If you enjoy stories driven by wonder, mystery, scientific discovery, and character development, USS Eventide offers the opportunity to help chart a course into regions of the universe where the maps are incomplete and every new horizon may hold something extraordinary.
