Key Features:
- Discover the truth
Get to know the crew and piece together what happened through fully voiced audiologs in addition to various types of documents and e-mails. - Three distinct endings
Make a decision based on what you have discovered, and decide the fate of the Xanadu. - No hand holding
You have one primary objective: Return the Xanadu back to Earth. There are no objective markers, you have no map, and the ship has been sabotaged. You begin your mission with only a flashlight and a message from your superiors back on Earth, the rest you'll have to figure out on your own. - Hot robot action with first person shooter combat
Evade the ship's security system while battling hostile robots. - Fully interactive environment
Inspired by the immersive environments of games such as Deus Ex and System Shock 2: Open every drawer, use every computer, and read every document you find. More importantly, you can flush every toilet. - Optional 'Peaceful' mode
Not a fan of violence against robots? Switch to the Peaceful difficulty setting in the options menu to make the robots passive, allowing you to explore the ship, experience the story, and solve puzzles at your own pace.
