About the Game

The story takes place in the year 2997. You play as Apranik. Your mission is to travel to the planet Thulcandra in search of a crucial item: the Angel’s Egg, a very ancient artifact believed to be the source of all life in the Universe. You journey through the claustrophobic corridors of a massive underground complex filled with the remnants of technological and biological horrors created by a now dead civilization.

"What I witnessed could not be described. It seemed instead a convergence of nameless states collapsing into what cannot be comprehended: flesh and bones writhing and weaving into a turmoil of organic anarchy, appendages propelling the aberration toward me as it crawled upon an onyx, mucus-like substance which itself seemed endowed with life."
