Real-time tactics with active pause. The basis of the gameplay is microcontrol of a small group of space troopers. Timely maneuvering and effective use of troopers' equipment will be the key to victory in combat with the planet's wild fauna, ancient autonomous constructs, and an unknown supernatural enemy.
The energy shortage has led to the need for an expedition to alien worlds. Having passed through a space anomaly, the Expedition ship entered the orbit of an unknown planet.
The planet, called the Shadow World, is a mysterious and alien place. An environment unsuitable for human life, aggressive flora and fauna - this is only a small part of what the researchers will encounter.
The expedition will have to learn the fate of an ancient civilization that once existed on the planet, and defeat an even more ancient and powerful entity that has taken over this world.
