An experiment has gone wrong, and the whole complex is failing. Your only chance at survival is to use the various tools at your disposal to escape this now-hostile environment. But beware: an unrelenting force lurks in the shadows…
Play as Priya Ellis, a scientist whose research team has been decimated by a mysterious new form of life - the Dark Matter - which is invisible to the naked eye. Thanks to your scanner tablet and the ships' built-in surveillance system, you can outsmart the roaming menace by carefully planning your next move.
