11 itemsAbout the Game
Shadow of the Matrix is a dynamic action third-person shooter (TPS) set in a futuristic sci-fi space setting. A mysterious force methodically disables critical ship systems, transforming a colonization mission into a battle for survival. Only you can stop the catastrophe. Save the crew and decide the fate of the mission — where every action matters.
🎭 Story
In the distant future, humanity launches a massive colony ship toward a new Earth-like planet — a second home for mankind. Thousands of passengers remain in biostasis while a small crew manages the ship through advanced robotic avatars connected to its systems.
As the ship nears its final destination, a critical system failure begins to spread. Essential modules shut down one by one, placing the entire mission at risk. Only two crew members awaken in time: a security officer and a technician known by the codename Neurohex.
Together, they must uncover the source of the threat, confront an unknown enemy, restore the ship’s systems, and save thousands of lives in this intense sci-fi adventure with action and survival elements.
