Bridge Orders - Outrim: The Unseen Enemy

Bridge Orders — Outrim: The Unseen Enemy is a single-player, bridge-focused sci-fi strategy game where you move your fleet by “Observation → Judgment → Command” instead of piloting ships directly.

Gameplay

You don’t steer the ship yourself in Bridge Orders. Instead, you sit on the bridge, receive reports from your officers, and repeat a cycle of Observation → Judgment → Command.

You are not the one pulling the trigger — you are the one who decides what should be targeted and when, as a commanding officer.

Playtime

Depending on how you play, the current version offers roughly 30 minutes of playtime.

Story

In a remote garrison on the edge of the Galactic Peace Federation Aurelia Concordia, a series of impossible battleship sinkings has occurred.

Mu Griffith, a quantum physicist and radar researcher, is promoted to captain after demonstrating the effectiveness of Quantum Interference Waves (QIW) during Operation AO.

Together with QIW radar operator Remy Kirishima, executive officer Riley Drake, operations officer Rio Rutherford, ship operator Philip Liu, medical officer Michaela Bernard, and the rest of the crew, you pursue the true nature of this unseen enemy and the hidden truth behind the incidents.

Battleship Upgrades

There is no traditional character level-up system, but as the story progresses you are given access to stronger battleships and more powerful weapons.

Your growing firepower lets you try different approaches to each engagement as the campaign advances.

Caring for Remy

At present, Remy Kirishima is the only person who can operate the QIW radar. If you push her too hard, you won’t be able to make full use of QIW, and reliably tracking enemy ships will become difficult.

How much you push her, and how much you protect her, is another part of your struggle as captain.

What’s Included in the Current Early Access Version

In the current Early Access version, you can play Episodes 1–3 of a story campaign that is currently planned to span around 10 episodes.

You’ll experience a story-focused single-player campaign covering your deployment to the Outrim sector and your first encounters with the “Phantom Fleet.”

Each mission lets you enjoy the core bridge-command loop: reading sensor data and officer reports, choosing commands, and advancing the battle as a commander rather than a pilot.

We currently plan to add further episodes and to keep improving UI, balance, accessibility, stability, and performance based on player feedback, but these plans may change depending on development progress and what we learn during Early Access.
