About This Game

Story

You wake up in complete darkness. Oxygen is critically low. To stay sane, you recall the events of the past few days…

Not long ago, you worked at a mountain observatory, studying a mysterious signal from a distant star. The signal contained a sequence of prime numbers, decreasing each day. Is it a countdown? What happens when it reaches zero?

Uncover the mystery of the signal, make contact with an alien intelligence, and save the one you love.
