About the Game

A long journey awaits you through the large locations of the planetary station. Each level contains a unique design, unusual mechanical creatures and secret areas.

You have to find out why the entire research complex fell into decay and find a way to get out of it. Battles with robots will be an indispensable attribute of the entire game, and the passage of many areas will require finding the optimal tactics

A special humanoid robot will accompany you on the journey. If you can overcome all the difficulties of the adventure, you will meet a living being, one of those who inhabit the planet

Features:


  • Huge, non-linear locations full of robots and an aggressive environment.
  • Dark atmosphere of the decaying complex, where progress requires caution and exploration of the surrounding area
  • Get your own drone that will help you in battle throughout the game
  • Transform one of the robots into a vehicle and make the final journey on it
