   The Pony Express is the space freighter company present in the game. They manufactured the Tulpar and employ employees to do long-distance trips for shipments. Their mascot is Polle. They take many shortcuts in their business and it's visible in the multiple istances of neglect such as adding an extra crew member without accounting for the lack of resources (food, water, cryostasis pods), Docking credits for medical expenses, workplace accidents and late deliveries, Only allowing the captain to access important items and resources without an emergency override, and Lack of locks aside from the cockpit and the medical bay.

   Entry settings

   The Tulpar is a long-haul space freighter provided by Pony Express. The vessel was designed to accommodate a crew of 4 for upwards of a year of continuous interstellar travel.

   Besides the mandatory captain and co-pilot in control of the vessel, the Tulpar is also staffed by at least one engineer and a medical officer, the latter of whom is tasked with administering weekly psychological evaluations ("psych evals") on the remaining crew. Tulpar's navigation system is capable of running on auto-pilot and operates on such for the majority of its flight, but it also has an emergency manual override. Related to this, the Tulpar also houses cryogenic pods to be used if the vessel becomes inoperable and the ETA of rescue services exceeds the onboard oxygen and food supply. The pods allow suspended animation for a period of up to 20 years but must be activated by a second party from the outside once a person has entered.

   The Tulpar has two floors with two sets of stairs. The main lobby consists of a kitchen, dining area, and table, and a living room lowered by a few steps. There are also two vending machines in the room; one for coffee and one for food. The dining area has a long wooden table and several chairs. The living room has a fake night/day screen, an L-shaped couch, two chairs, and a small coffee table. Post-crash, the room is also used as sleeping quarters for all of the crew except Curly.

   The utility room is where the cryogenic pods are located as well as the axe and various amounts of tools used by Swansea. It also contains the broken vent Daisuke attempted to fix. Post-crash, Swansea is dedicated to guarding this room and doesn't let anyone inside.

   The cockpit Is where the code scanner is found. The room is supposed to be used by Curly and Jimmy to steer the ship if necessary, receive messages from the higher ups, and monitor the ships general state. This is also the room where the emergency contingency gun was meant to be located. This is also one of the only two rooms that can be locked.

   The medical bay is where Anya works and mainly occupies. After the crash it is where Anya mainly stays since she has to take care of Curly. This is one of the only two rooms that can be locked.

   The sleeping quarters are where the crew sleep, a hallway that breaks off into six bedrooms, although it becomes inaccessible to the crew post-crash as a result of the foam covering the door up. It is specifically mentioned by Ayna that none of the rooms have locks.

   The cargo hold is a large space for storing cargo which is meant to be locked for the duration of the flight. Months after the crash with no signs of rescue, the crew chooses to open it and discovers that they've been transporting exclusively mouthwash.

   Entry settings

   Curly is the original captain of the Tulpar, before the crash and Jimmy taking over. He was at the top of the ship's command chain and was primarily in charge of navigation. Before the crash, Curly was an average-built man with blue eyes and lightly curled blonde hair, wearing the Pony Express coveralls over a red and yellow tee.

   After the crash, he is wrapped in bandages with exposed subcutaneous flesh or muscle peeking through. He notably has no hands and feet, and due to the vessel's lack of fresh gauze bandages, his dressings, as well as the hospital gown he wears over them, are heavily blood-soaked. His jaw and one lidless eyeball are exposed.

   Curly's personality can be described as dependable. He is a promising and ambitious man with a big future ahead of him. Over time, he grows discontent with his position, wondering if the captain is "all he'll ever be." He reflects on having chosen the wrong career path. Still, he cares about his friends and crewmates, not wishing to leave them behind. Respected and beloved on his ship, Curly is called a "great captain" by his co-workers. He has personal conflicts with his friend and co-pilot, Jimmy, who both admires Curly and envies him. He is responsible yet lenient, and his efforts to see the best in everyone lead to his overlooking conflicts on the ship. He tends to ignore inconvenient details to focus on the bigger picture, both symbolically when he cannot see the dead pixel on the monitor in the lounge and literally when he does nothing about Jimmy after learning he assaulted Anya.

   Entry settings

   Jimmy is the co-pilot of the Tulpar spaceship. He is in charge of navigation and taking the captain's mantle in the event of an emergency.

   Jimmy is an adult male with straight brown hair slicked into a middle part, brown eyes, and stubble. His clothing consists of the Pony Express jumpsuit, a white long-sleeved t-shirt underneath, and black sneakers. He has some wrinkles and appears to have a thinner body type.

   Jimmy is shown to experience some semblance of guilt for some of his actions while also being intentionally manipulative and spiteful. He attempts to take responsibility and fix things while not recognizing that his actions are the reason why the crew is even in this position. He often repeats other people's words without understanding their meaning and applies them to himself to excuse the things he's done.

   Jimmy is very envious of Curly's position as a captain pre-crash, wishing to gain the same amount of power as him, and not recognizing how many responsibilities and tasks a captain has. He acts impulsively and without thinking, such as crashing the ship and regretting it right after, which ultimately leaves Curly severely injured and incapacitated as captain. He lied to the crew and blamed Curly for the crash so he wouldn't have to deal with the consequences. As captain, he quickly got overwhelmed and berated other members of the crew, primarily Anya when she asked him to help with the painkillers. Jimmy often jumps to conclusions, assuming the worst in people and projecting his traits and insecurities onto others.

   He also chooses not to take the Pony Express-mandated psych evaluations seriously, stating that he experiences sexual attraction to a cartoon horse. In Anya's words, Jimmy thinks that they're a waste of time.

5. #5Anya

   Entry settings

   Anya is the nurse of the crew on the Tulpar spaceship. She's in charge of the medical supplies of the ship, conducting the other crew mates' psych evaluations and assisting them with medical care. Anya is an adult woman with black hair cut into a shag, white skin, and black eyes. Her clothing consists of the Pony Express jumpsuit and a pink, green, and white striped turtleneck underneath it. She wears a pair of brown sandals with white socks. Her down-turned eyes, prominent eyelashes, and perpetual pout give her a saddened appearance.

   Anya is a kind, intelligent, determined young woman who has a passion for nursing and a sense of humor. Despite having been through medical school 8 times and failing, she continues to go, showing her love and determination for medicine.

   Before her assault, she was seemingly much more lively, getting along well with and trusting the rest of the crew which likely included Jimmy. She seems to have a sense of humor from the yimpy sticky note she pinned, her playful teasing of Swansea enjoying the Pony Express cake, and a competitive streak in board games. She is knowledgeable about the company guidelines and rules, as she brought up the safety manual of Pony Express to find a way to reach the cargo.

   After her assault however she's become reserved and easily nervous, she has a soft-spoken demeanor and acts meek around the rest of the crew, seeking to avoid Jimmy and protect herself from him. Also hiding the gun case in the medical room so that Jimmy can't find it, fearing for the worst.

   Post-crash, her mental health declines rapidly, prone to breakdowns, experiences anxiety, and tends to isolate herself more often than not taking care of Curly. Anya barely speaks for the rest of the game, especially when talking to Jimmy.

6. #6Swansea

   Entry settings

   Swansea's role was to look over the ship's maintenance and to make sure everything works accordingly as its mechanic.

   Swansea is a tall middle-aged man with brown short hair and blue eyes. He has a noticeable belly, likely due to age and his history of drinking. He is often depicted with a frown. He wears the yellow and red Pony Express polo shirt, a pair of jeans and white and blue sneakers.

   Swansea often appears as a grumpy, old man. Initially, he doesn't care for his intern Daisuke, whom he often finds to be more of a nuisance than anything else. He continuously blocks off the path to the utility room claiming that it's filled to the brim with foam, which turned out to be a lie as he was trying to hide the only working cryostasis pod from the other crew members. Although he has a very tough exterior and had treated Daisuke rudely, it's likely he was hiding the pod in the hope that Daisuke could use it.

   Entry settings

   Daisuke is an intern on the Tulpar space freighter under the supervision of the ship's mechanic, Swansea.

   Daisuke is a tall young man with a tanned complexion, mid-length, semi-dyed brown hair, and almond-shaped brown eyes; he has a round face with one mole on each cheek, his right mole being under his eye and his left mole a little lower. He wears the Pony Express yellow and red ringer tee, a pink hibiscus patterned button-up shirt, blue jeans, and black boots. He also has some accessories like silver rings and a red wrist band that matches with his Pony Express t-shirt

   Daisuke might be the most optimistic crew member. He is almost always enthusiastic and excited about things happening around the ship: the mentee seems to have felt like he was doing his part just with the menial task of taking stock of the kitchen four times over, as ordered by an exasperated Swansea. Even after the crash, he tries to keep his spirit up. However, despite his peppy exterior, Daisuke later in the game drunkenly confesses to Jimmy that he struggles to find meaning in life and was pressured by his parents to pick up the internship, then continuing to hope that his mother doesn't blame herself.

   Ena Hirose is a tech-savvy mischief-maker with a sharp wit and a voice reminiscent of Peridot from Steven Universe. She’s short in stature due to dwarfism inherited from her paternal grandmother, and she sports short curly hair, freckles, and a green outfit adorned with a star and expressive face design. As the younger sibling of Daisuke and daughter of Aiko and Hideaki Hirose, Ena channels her boundless energy into crafting self-repairing plushies powered by nanomachines—each one a tribute to someone she respects, from her family to select classmates. Her playful chaos often includes deploying the “67” meme just to stir reactions, but beneath the sarcasm lies a fiercely loyal heart and a deep pride in her creations. Her stepfather is Swansea Harold, who had remarried to Aiko after his spouse passed away.

   Aiko Harold is a 49-year-old pillar of calm resilience, with dark hair, a turquoise top, blue pants, and pink shoes that reflect her grounded yet approachable style. As the mother of Daisuke and Ena, she weathered a difficult divorce from Hideaki seven years after Ena’s birth and later found renewed stability by marrying Swansea, a widower from the Tulpar crew. Living in Fowlerville, Michigan, Aiko balances maternal warmth with pragmatic wisdom, often using gentle sarcasm and a knowing smile to navigate family dynamics. Her voice evokes the composed grace of Pearl from Steven Universe, and her quiet strength anchors the household through both chaos and healing.
