Exogenesis: The Erebus Cycle

A sci-fi survival horror with cosmic dread. A civilization on the verge of synthesizing human life is drawn to a planet that responds… and traps them like prey. Exploration, environmental puzzles, and heavy, clunky combat where every bullet counts.

About the Game

  • This is Exogenesis.

  • A science fiction and cosmic horror video game where curiosity is devoured by the unknown.

  • An advanced civilization, on the verge of perfecting human synthesization, detects signs of life on a distant planet. Driven by fascination... they approach. But the planet traps them—like prey.

  • You awaken as a synthetic, inside a ship slowly being digested by a living planet.

  • The mechanics are simple yet intense: meticulous exploration, environmental puzzles, and heavy, clunky combat… where every bullet counts.

  • The story isn’t told with words, but through symbols, images, and environments that speak on their own.

  • The interface is minimal and diegetic. The art blends raw pixel visuals with a dark atmosphere. And the sound design surrounds the player in an oppressive, living experience.
