How it feels

You wander a derelict spaceship, feeling isolated and hunted, sneaking past powerful enemies to piece together a grim mystery.

What players say

Players call it a rough but enjoyable indie take on Dead Space with a tense shipboard atmosphere. Ammo is extremely scarce, forcing careful resource management and hiding, and the game demands constant backtracking through dark samey levels. Performance stutters even on high-end hardware are a common complaint, and a few reviewers also report glitchy enemy behavior and an archaic save system.
