More about this game
Navigate a zero-gravity space station by thrusting and using your weapon's recoil to outmaneuver enemies. Your primary goal is to purge sabotages before the 45-second timer expires and life support fails. You must survive waves of hostile aliens, including shielded brutes and hidden impostors. Difficulty increases as the director spawns more enemies and triggers new sabotages under pressure. A run ends if your 5 health points deplete or the oxygen timer reaches zero, sending you back to the vault.
Tips
- Firing the shotgun produces massive recoil, which is perfect for quick evasive maneuvers or flanking shielded brutes who block frontal attacks.
- Keep your flashlight beam on rogue enemies to expose their true form before they strike, and watch out for jumpscares in the dark.
- Lure enemies into doorways and shoot the switch to crush them with the airlock doors, instantly sealing them away and saving your ammo.
Questions
How do I heal my suit?
Find green health crates scattered around the station to recover up to your maximum of 5 health, or upgrade the Emergency Battery in the vault to heal after purging sabotages.
What happens when I run out of ammo?
Attempting to fire with empty ammo triggers a Soul-Blade slash that deals damage and applies 64 knockback to nearby enemies. Find yellow ammo crates to reload your weapons.
How do I unlock new weapons?
Collect purple Void Shards dropped by defeated enemies and purged sabotages. Spend them in the Station Vault between runs to unlock the Void Shotgun and Arc Beam Cannon.
