About the Game

You are PR0B-1E (Probie), a lone probe bot on a forgotten mission, exploring the remains of an unfamiliar galaxy. Scattered across asteroid fields, derelict stations, and sealed structures are the tools, resources, and clues left behind by an ancient civilization—and something they were trying to stop.

This is a physics-driven sci-fi exploration adventure with a story that's built around a simple loop: discover a location, mine and recover materials, haul them back to safety, and upgrade your systems to push farther.

What You Do

  • Mine asteroids with physics-based tools — smash rocks together using your grappling hook and momentum

  • Haul minerals back to stations — transport recovered resources through debris fields using magnetism

  • Scan to discover points of interest — reveal tagged objects, interactables, and important targets in the environment

  • Solve environmental puzzles — challenges built around energy, movement, light, and magnetic interactions

  • Upgrade at station terminals — deposit materials, convert recovered cores into rewards, and purchase upgrades that expand your capabilities

Key Features

  • Physics-driven mining and hauling focused on motion, impact, and magnetism

  • Scanning-based discovery that helps you find interactables and navigate unfamiliar zones

  • Robotic companions you unlock as you progress, expanding how you explore and solve problems

  • Atmospheric sci-fi locations including asteroid fields, caves, derelict stations, and mysterious corridors

  • Single-player gameplay

As you push deeper into the galaxy, fragments of a larger mystery begin to emerge. Strange structures, corrupted systems, and long-silent machines whir to life, hinting at a story that unfolds gradually through exploration.
