11 itemsAbout the Game
After a cosmic expedition disaster, you are the sole surviving astronaut stranded on Tarvos, an unknown, uncharted moon.
What initially appears to be a hospitable environment quickly reveals its true, nightmarish nature.
Your mission is to survive the hostile surface of Tarvos and uncover secrets that might help you escape. Face hordes of monsters, explore mysterious locations, and find your way to an abandoned laboratory that might hold the answers... and your only chance to return home.
Dark locations, eerie sounds, and unpredictable threats will draw you into a claustrophobic nightmare on an alien moon.

Face a variety of enemies, from small mutants to terrifying beasts that will test your survival skills.

Gather resources, upgrade your equipment, and develop skills to meet escalating challenges.
Why did your expedition crash? Was it a mistake, or did someone deliberately condemn you to death? Every step on Tarvos brings you closer to the truth — the question is, do you have enough time to survive?
