In the stealth-action game Starless, you play as a colonist stranded on a malfunctioning space Ark, filled with dangerous monsters. As you navigate the dark corridors, you must use caution and strategy to survive.

The Ark is part of a flotilla heading to a distant planet, but disaster strikes when the crew becomes infected with a mysterious virus, and the life support systems fail. In an effort to save the ship, the AI awakens one of the colonists from stasis.

But every death on the Ark threatens the mission to establish a colony on the new planet, as there are only a limited number of people on board. With the help of Freya, the Ark's AI, you must do everything you can to survive and save the ship, even if it means sacrificing a few lives along the way.
