“ABOUT THIS GAME
Abandoned for decades the ICARUS.1’s job was to store mined minerals from the systems outlying planets and perform research duties. Orbiting the local sun to maintain it’s solar energy and live up to its namesake, it provided a lucrative business for JME corp.
After contact was lost no rescue attempt was ever made with the stricken station, instead the project was mothballed along with its precious cargo – a cover up some may say.
Many stories about what happened have become lore but Sam isn’t focusing on these ‘stories’, the goal is the cargo and the wealth it will bring.

“I turned the lights down for a really immersive experience, and the ore collection mechanic was so much fun and perfectly fed my obsessive compulsive near-disorder.”
David Helgason – Unity Technologies founder
“The game brings back feelings of first playing System Shock or Half-Life. I love creepy, empty space ships with history, and the sound design on this was especially great.”
Robin Hunicke – Funomena CEO
