Overview

About this game

The current release is Chapter 0, a free standalone demo.

Repair your ship

Your ship has suffered a catastrophic impact on its way to investigate a mysterious signal in deep space. You will have to repurpose some of the alien technology you crashed with to fix and fuel your ship.

Converse with your PAI

You are not alone out in the dark. A Personal Artificial Intelligence will help you problem solve, analyze and understand data, and learn more about the aliens you are seeking. Make decisions in conversation; be friendly or sarcastic, curious or scared. Perhaps you will even talk with something altogether more alien…

Translate an alien language

Alien symbols have meaning and can be translated. Your PAI has come up with a system capable of translating this language, but it is far from perfect without more data. You can rely on that system and gather data to improve translations, or make inferences and assumptions yourself to solve puzzles.
