'''Transcendence''' is a freeware video game described by its creator, George Moromisato, as the fusion of ''[[Nethack]]'' and ''[[Star Control]]''. You choose one of three starships to travel between systems, gathering things to upgrade your ships to survive the more and more dangerous enemies, and trying to make it out alive.
