Syndrome is a science fiction survival horror video game developed by Camel 101 and Bigmoon Entertainment for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Mac, Linux and Nintendo Switch. It takes place inside the "Valkenburg", a drifting spaceship where something has gone wrong, killing most of its crew. The player controls a character that wakes up in the spaceship with no memory of what happened. The player's actions are not limited to running and hiding; in Syndrome the player can also engage in combat, although the available weapons and ammunition are limited. The game also plays heavily with psychological horror: the main character is constantly plagued by visual and auditory hallucinations, never knowing what is real and what is not.
