CONTRABAND: Edge of the Fold

A girl is in danger. The universe is breaking. You have a ship. Rescue Lyra, fight the Black Fleet, and reach the Starforge.

CONTRABAND: Edge of the Fold is a Steam-bound space narrative about Lyra, the Guardians, the Black Fleet, and the Rift. Choices record on branching timelines while you fly realtime combat, trade commodities, outfit 42 playable hulls, hire 32 crew members, escalate system threat, mine Asterion machines, chase six named bosses, and pursue four main endings with 30+ epilogue variants — all included in the Steam release.

CONTRABAND: Edge of the Fold is a PC space narrative game from solo developer Dero Lavigne. You play a pilot pulled into the fight over Lyra, the Guardians, the Black Fleet, and the Starforge.

The game's core mechanic tracks major decisions as visible branches, letting players revisit choices and see how abandoned routes still echo through the campaign. Other characters remember what you did, and the route to the Starforge changes with you.

The game includes 300+ scripted story scenes across main arcs, endings, tribunal machine missions, DLC hooks, and mirrored Spanish content.

You manage warp fuel across 34 linked systems bucketed into seven exploration regions — 21 of them expose MARKET/STATION services when landed. Forty-two playable hull IDs, thirty-two crew perks stacking passive bonuses, thirteen Asterion fabricators culminating in Fold resonator upgrades, six bounty villains with scripted loot tiers, escalating threat ladders, 140 Steam achievements, and a composed 21-track soundtrack. Four main endings (Sacred Timeline, Multiverse, Another Life, Burn) branch into 30+ epilogue variants tracked in your save — full story included, no separate epilogue purchases on Steam.

Keyboard and mouse flight anchor the desktop HUD, with cinematic systems, accessibility sliders, and a branching narrative structure built for long-form PC play.
