About the Game

This is a game about the essence of exploration, survival, and psychology set against the dark unknown backdrop of Arcturus.

In this game you will not grind materials to unlock other materials as is with so many other survival games.

Explore

On Arcturus you have to observe, explore and learn about the exotic flora and fauna you come across to utilize those resources how you see fit, to maximize your odds of not just survival but perhaps to escape this hauntingly beautiful world.

Manage

You will have to manage systems such as electricity, food, water, atmospherics, deal with temperatures, pressures, light, darkness and battle your very own sanity.

Encounters

Deal with hostile, curious, and above all extraordinary, out of this world, biological curiosities.

This is not going to be easy, and you are not alone in the dark.
