About the Game

An interactive space story about rediscovering a life, our friendships, our choices and regrets.
~~~

Three years scouting the distant reaches of the galaxy. You’ve been all on your own, but now it's time to head back home … to SAGI 499: a divided colonial society on the edge of the Sagittarius spiral, and your home. Old friends calling, new faces to meet, political turmoil … and hints of something far stranger. What will you choose?

What is In Cold Dark

--

In Cold Dark is a sci-fi point-and-click branching narrative. You're returning from a distant exploration gig with your trusty glitchy AI, SPARC, and soon you'll need to decide your priorities.

What do you want to do?

~~

  • Navigate interstellar jumps?
  • Read a book?
  • Watch your favourite show?
  • Tackle sector colonialism with the Voiders?
  • Reconnect with your old love?
  • Make a new one?
  • Just do your thing and survive?

The story places a focus on irrevocable decision-making each playthrough, and a blend of pixel art and paintings make for a unique and striking journey through the spiral arm of the Milky Way.
