Ares Magazine #2. The Wreck of the B.S.M. Pandora simulates the race against time by the members of the biological survey team to repair their damaged space ship before the ship's system reaches an irreversible (and fatal) cold shutdown. As the crew scrambles after tools and weapons, they confront potentially dangerous alien specimens that have broken loose and roam the corridors. From one to five players work separately or together to save their ship. The game continues with Voyage of the B.S.M. Pandora. The Awful Green Things From Outer Space has a similar theme but is much less serious in tone.
The Wreck of the B.S.M. Pandora has 2 videos from 2 creators: 1 how-to-play guide and 1 playthrough. They date from 2025 to September 2026.
