A crash landing on an alien world

You start beside a crashed capsule on an unfamiliar alien planet. The path runs sideways through a world built in 3D, so you move left and right while strange surroundings stretch around you.

You walk forward and explore because there is nowhere else to go. The setting feels atmospheric, and that mood hangs over each step as you take in the unfamiliar place.

Old ruins and your part in them

Traces of a vanished local people hint that you matter to their past. Maybe you were meant to land here, and that question sits over the journey.

The game moves through action sequences and puzzle sequences. The story sits between science fiction and fantasy, with old myth and distant space kept close together.
