What is OtherSpace?

OtherSpace is a text-based, real-time science fiction roleplaying game (MUSH) set in a dynamic multiverse of shifting realities, alien civilizations, ancient mysteries, and epic adventures.

Founded in 1998 by Wes Platt, OtherSpace has grown through decades of rich storytelling, dramatic player-driven events, and evolving universes – from the Orion Arm to the Chiaroscuro reality and beyond.
