A mystery buried in red sand
Your crew has vanished on a planet reported lifeless, and finding them means piecing together what happened here. You explore Regis III on foot, reading the landscape for clues, examining wreckage and strange formations, and reporting what you find to the Astrogator, whose voice over the radio keeps you company and steers you through the hard calls. The trail leads somewhere no one expected, and the game lets you build theories as you go: every fragment you uncover either feeds your hunch or quietly breaks it. The planet itself is the star. Vast, silent vistas under an alien sun give the search a lonely weight, and the mystery stays genuinely gripping from the first crash site to the last revelation.
Atompunk tools and slow, careful exploration
This is a future built from the 1950s imagination: heavy analogue devices with toggles, dials and chunky screens, all running on atomic power. You use a telemeter to measure distances, a tracker to follow signals, tune frequencies on clunky radios and drive a vehicle across the landscape. The interactions feel tactile and real, and the sound design sells every switch and dial. Pace is the trade-off: this is a walking and thinking game with no combat, and it moves deliberately. Yasna trundles, climbs and pants her way across low-gravity terrain in a way that feels endearingly human. If you settle into its rhythm, the emptiness of Regis III becomes the point rather than the problem.
How long is it, and can you see every ending?
How long does a playthrough take?
A full careful run takes roughly five to eight hours, and many finish it in one or two sittings. The pace is unhurried, so it suits playing in a few sessions rather than one long marathon: the alien landscapes land hardest before you get used to them.
Do your choices really change the story?
Yes. Decisions along the way alter conversations and lead to one of 11 endings, and you can pick individual chapters from the menu to go back and try different paths without replaying the whole game. The gameplay itself stays the same; it is the story that branches.
Is there any combat or danger of failing?
There is no combat and almost no fail state. The tension comes from the mystery, the hostile planet and the choices you make, some of which close doors permanently. If you want action, this is the wrong planet; if you want dread and wonder, it is the right one.
