About the Game

Awakening in the Silence of a Dead Ship

The past has been erased along with the flight logs. Instead of a planned colonization, there is only a wreck in orbit and an unknown number of years spent in cryosleep. On the surface of a planet once envisioned as humanity's salvation, different laws now hold sway. Here, reality is malleable, and the boundaries between consciousness and matter have all but vanished.

Key Features:

  • A World of Shifting Forms: Surreal landscapes inspired by the worlds of Jean Giraud. The planet's ecosystem reacts to human presence, manifesting hidden fears and fragmented memories as lethal anomalies.

  • A Feral Legacy: Scattered human settlements grown from the ruins of former ideals. Through 250 years of silence, history has dissolved into myth, and technology has become an object of religious worship.

  • Combatting Illusions: Dynamic encounters with entities whose very nature defies biology. Survival demands more than just reflexes; it requires the ability to discern true threats from the mirages conjured by the planet's atmosphere.

  • A Vertical Journey: The path leads through anomalous deserts and zones of distorted gravity, straight into the planet's depths. Each descent further reveals the true purpose of this world, which hides something in its core more ancient than life itself.

Truth Hidden Beyond the Event Horizon

The search for answers becomes an archaeology of the self. But what awaits at the end of the road, when the planet begins to speak the language of the universe’s existence, and the laws of physics finally cease to apply?
