Captive is a space RPG / dungeon set in the distant future. The main role is played by Trill, a man who was accused of 250 years in prison in cryosleep. After 248 years, however, he wakes up in a large warehouse, to which his cell has since been rebuilt, and with the loss of memory. So Trill doesn't know who he is, where he is, or why he was imprisoned. After a while, he finds a mysterious briefcase in the corner of the room, from which a computer remotely controlling four droids emerges, no one knows where. Trill's only hope is to bring the droids together and free themselves. In terms of genre, the game is similar to dungeons like Dungeon Master or Eye of the Beholder, only the fantasy environment has become sci-fi. Also, droids do not gain experience gradually, but improve in special stores, where they can buy better weapons, equipment and body parts.
