[WP] You can't travel FTL in a vaccum, but you can in another medium - like water. Your submarine-starship has misjumped and arrived in a corrosive ocean. Tension rises as your crew struggles to make repairs in a dissolving ship, jump to safety, and deal with the alien life forms on this new world.

[WP] Everyone has brain implants that augment reality and memory, providing a video-game like experience. When a global update fails, chaos erupts and people can't tell what is real, what is illusion, or even trust their memories. Some, like you, are relatively unaffected and seek a cure.

[WP] Money is magic, literally. It can be near-instantly converted into food, weapons, fireballs, even health or experience. Conversely, the things you own can be converted into near-instantly into coin - which makes being a thief rather more challenging.
