The story begins as the player receives a call from a ship, which is named the USS Appaloosa. The player discovers that a mysterious incident led to the massacre of all of the crew members onboard, bar one. After this, the game follows the sole survivor on the spacecraft, who was on a mission. The goal of the game is to keep the man alive, by avoiding enemies and navigating him through passages and corridors on the ship.

• Illustration — In the game, the main character is portrayed as a blue dot, whilst his enemies are shown as red. In the game, the man is controlled by simple voice commands from the player, such as "go left", "run faster" and "stop". However, touch controls are also available and can be used instead. There are a total of five playable levels in the game. Mayday! Deep Space also includes a map on the device the game is being played on, which shows the current surroundings of the player. On the map, the player is displayed as a blue dot, whilst his enemies are displayed as red dots. The game also contains environmental obstacles which must be avoided. Since the player is leading the man in the game, rather than controlling him, the game only gives partial control over the character. The man generally listens to the player, however, if the player too obviously tries to kill the man, he will not listen to commands.
