Can you contain the experiments gone wrong or will you succumb to the same fate as your fallen comrades?

GAMEPLAY

As you explore the station, you discover a machine that aids you change the fabric of reality. Using this newfound power, you continue to explore the station, phasing through materials and bypassing obstacles throughout the station.
While exploring the space station, you will encounter varied and numerous encounters with the monsters that roam the halls and malfunctioning security defences that view you as a target. Along the way, you will find other inventions left by the crew that can be used to distract the monster or even interfere with both the creatures and the security system.
