In Gen7, players are officers among the seventh generation of colonists aboard an interstellar ark bound for the Epsilon Eridani system. Their ship is 142 years into their 210 year mission.

Each game session is called an episode. Players will be given episode objectives that they are trying to complete to earn officer stars, which are used to gain officer perks.

Players will be working independently to earn the most officer stars, but they must also work cooperatively to advance the episode's plot and to prevent the ship's systems from failing.

The full play of Gen7 occurs over seven episodes, during which game play and narrative choices affect the final outcome of the overall story.

Included The Brealing Point Expansion.
