Within Starman, you take the role of an alien who has to try and discreetly influence humanity to salvation from their failings in the world. The player would be limited to directly non-aggressive options (meaning providing weapons technology is off the cards, etc) and would try and use a more pacifistic methods. However, this is where the game becomes interesting, as while the benefits the player may choose to bestow upon humanity may be non violent and pacifistic in nature, there is nothing to stop the player from using a pacifistic influence to move people towards conflict, as long as in the long run the player can guarantee a large portion of people to be saved from total destruction at their own hands. For instance, the player may find certain states to be gearing up for war and may choose to put slightly more peaceful thoughts into their minds and avoid potential catastrophe, or may choose to do precisely nothing about that and instead plant some ideas within their scientists minds on how to make more efficient power, and and allow wars and conflict to run their course instead. The ultimate goal is after all, not to save all, just enough to get the job done and save the species and planet.

Target audience:
The moral dilemmas offered by Starman are potentially too severe to be aimed at a teenage audience, so a Young adult-Adult audience would likely be a better target.

Platforms:
Windows PC, Macintosh OSX (Potentially Linux?)
