200 light years away, the planet

Alkia

drifts in space. It is home to not one, but two sentient species - the peaceful, technological

Alkians

, and the terrifying

Holl

, who live off hunting the former as prey.

Tasked with reclaiming a radio tower to help find a planet capable of harboring life, will you help your species make their escape? Or is there a somehow a way to

cohabitate?

FEATURES:

An engaging narrative where your actions matter. Pivotal choices as well as your underlying optimism (or cynicism) will determine which of 8 different endings you receive.

Gameplay that is one part horror-puzzle, one part narrative adventure, and one part dating-sim.

An exploration of other perspectives that lie underneath the surface.

Custom painted art alongside otherworldly portraits made with VQGAN+Clip.

Hidden secrets that can only happen by random chance.

A game experience more relevant than ever to our modern world.
