How it feels

You navigate dark, malfunctioning corridors of a space ark, relying on stealth and strategy to survive hostile monsters and failing life support.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, atmospheric stealth game that feels like Alien Isolation in 2D. The main complaints are about pitch black rooms that make navigation frustrating, while the unique life system where each death continues with a new colonist is praised. Most finish it in 3-5 hours and note it is budget-priced with multiple endings.
