Space Station 13, often shortened to SS13, is a top-down tile-based action role-playing multiplayer video game running on the freeware BYOND game engine, originally released in 2003.[1]
The game is set on a futuristic space station; however, the location of the in-game world can differ depending on the server that is being played, including a spacecraft and an exoplanet.[2][3] One of the defining features of Space Station 13 is its emphasis on player roles. At the beginning of each round, players choose or are assigned a specific role on the station, such as a medical doctor, engineer, security officer, chef, or scientist. Each role has unique responsibilities, equipment, and abilities that are crucial to the smooth functioning of the station.
Players are free to work together with their fellow crewmates to complete tasks and keep the station running smoothly, or they can choose to cause chaos and disrupt the work of others. The game has a variety of different game modes and win conditions, which can range from simple survival to complex conspiracies and political intrigue.
