Woken from a hypersleep, you find yourself alone on a drifting star cruiser, light years from home. The crew has disappeared, leaving behind nothing but a few scattered records and a strange artifact that seems to hold the key to an alien civilisation. As you search the empty ship, you'll begin to piece together the mystery of the missing crew, and perhaps a way to unlock the artifact itself.(Storyline via IGDB)
