About

This first-person hybrid action-shooter/RPG takes place in 2114 aboard the interstellar spaceship *Von Braun*, where the player awakens from cryosleep to find the crew either dead or enslaved by an alien entity called The Many. Core gameplay involves resource management, stealth, and combat, with limited ammunition encouraging cautious exploration of the ship’s corridors and interaction with audio logs and surviving characters. The narrative follows the protagonist’s investigation into the disaster while uncovering the fate of Dr. Janice Polito and the ship’s original mission to the Tau Ceti system.
