About the Game

As a field agent for the Golden Gear Society, you have been assigned a four-day mission to a small remote island. The task seems straightforward, but the details about the location seem unusually sparse. You are not the one to ask too many questions, so you pack your equipment and read the mission briefing one more time, before taking a boat ride to the island...

Activities:

  • Explore a small island in the North Atlantic, surrounded by deep dark ocean.

  • Make yourself at home in an old, abandoned house and find your daily routine.

  • Discover the hidden past of the observatory and of your colleagues who were stationed there.

  • Restore and operate rustic equipment to record unusual signals from outer space.

  • Experience strange events, as you spend more time on this frigid rock in the middle of nowhere.

Game Features:

  • Retro-inspired low poly, low resolution visuals, with some modern graphical features.

  • Slow-paced first-person exploration, puzzle solving and horror sequences.

  • Multiple endings. Based on your actions or inactions, experience a different ending to your story.
