In this tension-filled, sci-fi universe, players navigate through a series of puzzles, moral dilemmas, and hidden dangers, unraveling the mystery of what led to the ship's demise.

Key Features

Environmental Investigation: Discover what happened on the UNE Hyperion by inspecting terminals, reading ship logs, and discovering clues in the environment. Point & Click Puzzles: Players navigate the space station, interact with objects and solve puzzles through a simple 2D point-and-click interface.

Solve the Mystery: Find out what the mission of the UNE Hyperion is, who you are, and what happened to the ship.

Story

You wake from hypersleep on the seemingly deserted UNC Hyperion, with no memory of your identity or your mission. Discover the truth behind the disaster that befell the ship and its crew. What is The Icarus Experiment and what happened to it? Explore 4 distinct areas within the UNC Hyperion: The Hypersleep Chamber, Crew Quarters, Engine Room, and The Bridge.
