• Impressive Graphics and Performance: This may be an Indie title, but all the Visuals have been carefully crafted to provide stunning graphics, with an optional Raytracing Mode, Modding Support, DLSS 3, FSR 3, and a year of optimisation, I'm pushing the standard for Solo Indie Games.
• DEMONS Mode: Demons is a new mode, stripped of all the story moments. It hyper-fixates on combat mechanics, With 3 complete and unique maps. Introducing hundreds of demons, wave based survival, intense enemy types, and much more. With shorter loading times, shorter introductions, and shorter setup, each match roughly takes 10-15m.

HDFC Station

You're completely isolated on this HDFC Station, and keeping it running alone isn't going to be easy. You need to collect Power Circuits; Cooling Parts, and Oxygen Parts. This could mean exploring the dark and mysterious handcrafted areas using keycards. Or, exploring the procedurally generated areas; filled with traps, enemies, and loot. But your efforts are in not in vain; you can also find Construction Parts, needed for constructing your own Safe Space.

Elysia Sector

Understanding and uncovering the Sector's dark secrets can be difficult, as various areas of Elysia offer different types of Horror. Some will have you sprinting through tunnels; searching for somewhere to hide; before the inhabitants of Elysia catch you. Others will have you crawling through twisted environments; praying you'll find an exit in time, because while you stay in Elysia, time still passes in Reality. Cutting away at The Station's resources.

Lyraeth Mortis

But, there's more. You'll also need to look after yourself, with the complete and in-depth stats system, you need to keep your BPM; Health; Hunger; Thirst; Energy; and Treatment all under control. This means finding medicine, foods, materials, weapons, and tools to survive aboard The Station. This experience will be challenging, and stress-inducing.

Modding Support
