9 itemsAbout the Game
Distant Sun is a singleplayer, story-rich, sci-fi game based on character dialogue, puzzle solving, the choices you make and the impact of its results.
Set in the late 2100s, there's not much space in space. Under the backdrop of rising tension between the nations of Earth, Pioneer Research has embarked on the noble task of figuring out how to expand humanity throughout the cosmos but something odd happened there.
What happened in Pioneer Station? Puzzle together and save the lives of those that remain and uncover a conspiracy on a solar scale. Sift through corporate emails, hack administration rights, and talk with research personnel to unravel the mysteries, but do mind that the saying "ignorance is bliss" applies.
- Choose your story
The decisions you make advance the story in unique ways. Whether through dialogue with other characters, avoiding confrontation, or outsmarting your adversaries, this will effect the ending of the game.
- Dialogue tree
The dialogue tree guides player conversations and is an essential part of the story. Talk with NPCs and discover more about what happened in Pioneer Station and the conspiracies that lies beneath.
- Companions
You do not have to go in alone. Your crewmates Wonglei and Hailey will be there to back you up with firepower and advice.
- Character creator
Customize your character's appearance with the game's in depth character editor.
