About the Game

  • Navigate using an incomplete map and faulty sensors

  • Horror based around building dread and paranoia

  • A short experience intended to be finished in under 2 hours

The Story

Years ago, sensors discovered quite the anomaly. A swirling mass of liquid hydrogen surrounds a supermassive black hole. Heat and EM readings indicated the body were off the charts. You are manning the U.N.S. Icarus, a scout ship hosted by the carrier, U.N.S. Daedalus. Localized interference patterns were causing scanners and probes to malfunction so... the task falls to you. Deploy sensors, scan the area, and get back to the Daedalus.
