About the Game

ONE AT THE EDGE OF EVERYTHING

You wake up alone on a space station.
You do not remember who you are. You do not remember how you got here.
You do not remember why the station continues to drift through the endless void.
The only voice that greets you belongs to the station’s onboard AI.

She calmly explains the daily procedures, helps you restore the station’s systems, and assures you that the mission will end in one month — and that you will finally return home.

But the station is hiding things the AI never mentions.

KEEP THE STATION ALIVE

The station will not repair itself.
Search asteroids and drifting space debris for usable parts. Leave the station to perform dangerous repairs in open space.
Monitor oxygen, power, temperature, and airlocks. Any mistake could be your last.
Use gravity maneuvers to cross dangerous regions of space. The farther you travel, the harder it becomes to keep the station alive… and yourself.

SOMETHING IS WRONG

As you work, you begin to discover hidden recordings left behind by previous crew members.

Each new recording contradicts what the onboard AI has told you. Each one says the same thing.

No one goes home when the month is over.

THERE IS NOTHING OUT THERE.
ONLY YOU.
