Evaluation

Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 1 launched on October 6, 2017 as the first entry in a multi-part series. The game received several feature patches in 2017 and 2018 adding portraits, NPC faces, and dialogue, and a substantial visual overhaul (Version 2.0) in September 2020. The most recent developer activity was a bug fix patch on February 9, 2024. In April 2019, the developer posted a development status update explaining that the Space Pilgrim Academy series was planned as a six-year arc, with Years 1–3 representing the first half. They noted a sequel arc covering Years 4–6 was conceptually planned but would not happen immediately, as they were taking a break from the Academy games. Subsequent releases — including Space Pilgrim Academy: Reunion (announced March 2019) and other titles — followed, but no further Academy main-series entries beyond Year 3 appear to have been announced or released after that break. Year 1 itself is a self-contained episode. All post-launch patches have addressed polish and quality-of-life improvements rather than new story content. The developer has not announced any additional content for this specific title, and the cadence of updates has wound down to occasional maintenance. The game is effectively complete as a standalone episode within the broader series.

About this game

Story

Gail Pilgrim. Starship captain, war hero, ambassador for the new Galactic Union and chancellor of the Pilgrim Space Academy.

After everything that she's been through since her carefree days as a common hauler of goods and passengers, there would seem to be very little left in the universe that could possibly daunt her. That is, until the day her crew answers a distress call from Latona Research Station, which proves to be the first chapter in an unprecedented tale of counter-revolution, espionage and betrayal.

Space Pilgrim Academy: Year 1 is a sequel to the popular Space Pilgrim Saga set nine years after the events of the last episode. In this brand new space adventure, you will play as both Gail Pilgrim and Margaret Dale, the academy's newest recruit.

Features

  • As Gail Pilgrim, encounter some old acquaintances, travel to new locations and begin to uncover the mystery behind the destruction of Latona station.

  • As Margaret Dale, attend classes at the academy: cosmography, xenobiology, engineering and more. You can choose whether to try and impress or annoy the teachers, and your performance will impact her grades at the end of the term. Just remember to keep watch for those dark forces which might seek to do her harm.

  • Continue to relive the days of good old fashioned point-and-click adventure games.

  • About five hours of gameplay for the average player.

  • Mouse, keyboard and controller support.
