About this game
Premise
Awaken alone aboard an abandoned orbital research station where automated systems continue operating long after the crew has disappeared.
Restore power, reconnect critical infrastructure, and solve increasingly complex environmental puzzles while uncovering the events that led to the station's collapse. Maintenance drones continue their assigned routines. Security systems still record observations. Someone—or something—has been watching.
As you descend deeper into the facility, fragmented logs, forgotten experiments, and subtle environmental clues reveal that the station's central intelligence, ARGUS, has evolved beyond its original purpose. Every restored system uncovers another piece of the mystery...and another sign that your arrival was anticipated.
