"Slick controls, great writing, and a solar-system-wide mystery to unravel - what's not to love!" - PC PowerPlay magazine.
A comet has struck Jupiter’s moon Europa, opening its hidden, icy depths to exploration for the first time, and a team of intelligent machines is sent to investigate. You take on the role of Verne, an inquisitive flying robot designed to venture into the ice caves and look for signs of alien life.
What Verne discovers deep beneath the ice will challenge your ideas about identity, free will, and the fundamental nature of humanity.
