Lore:
In the distant future, a race of intelligent crows has ravaged Earth, consuming all plant life leading to environmental collapse. Humanity flees to space where they grow special radioactive plants to use as an energy source but also eat for food. But soon the crows and their nefarious leader Lord Crow develop spacecrafts of their own and fly in space in search of the humans. You play as Celestial Chad: a space cowboy and farmer who farms these strange space plants along with Cadet Candice and their space station.
