Choose your life in Rathyal.
Rathyal doesn’t care who you were. You begin by creating your character, then choose a starting life at the bottom: a low-rank Guild Union officer, a homeless ex-SteelWorks worker on a bench, a market stall scrap vendor, a prisoner planning an escape, a Breaker courier, or a Dockline cargo handler. From there, every choice is yours: serve the Union, run with gangs, or scrape together enough to build a ship and leave this place behind.
What is Lost Out Here?
A custom GPT acts as your Game Master in the world of Lost Out Here. It knows the lore of Rathyal, its districts and factions, and runs a turn-based campaign where every response contains narration, updated stats, and new choices.
You begin by defining who you are, then pick an origin: a Union officer on Lowstack patrol, a homeless ex-SteelWorks worker, a market scrap vendor, a prisoner plotting escape, a Breaker courier, or a Dockline cargo handler. From there you can curry favor with the Guild Union, vanish into the Underways, strike deals with raiders, or chase rumors of a way off-world. The city moves around you: events, crackdowns, crashes, and riots unfold over in-game days.
The GPT tracks Health, Stamina, Satiation, traits, credits, gear, NPC attitudes, faction reputation, and in-game days, and is instructed to keep using mechanics and checks even in long or wild campaigns.
Talk, sneak, fight, join, betray, or walk away. Every turn gives clear options and room for custom actions if you want to try something risky or creative.

Inside the city of Rathyal
Lowstack, Underways, Dockline, Highspire: each layer of Rathyal has its own light, noise, and pressure. The further you climb, the cleaner the air and the sharper the edges of Guild power.
Events from the Event Index can strike at any time: a Star Flux shuttle crashing into a slum street, ration riots in Spillway, or orbital incidents casting long shadows over Dockline. Whether you survive them, profit from them, or get crushed underneath them is up to you.
