A space station has been swallowed by a black hole, mutants roaming the corridors, and everything seems to have gone mad around you. Be sneaky or blast your way through the station and find a way home, all in a disco-punk atmosphere, as if you were the hero of a 70s B-movie that never existed...

The Real Review

Most people are into this disco-punk space station horror, praising its immersive sim gameplay and solid value, but it's got some nasty jank. The retro aesthetic and atmosphere are a hit, though it's clearly inspired by games like System Shock and Prey, which leaves some players feeling it's a derivative trip. The big complaints are technical: performance scores are terrible, with people on PC and Steam Deck hitting constant crashes and bugs, and the ladders are practically a meme for how broken they are. If you can push past the instability, there's a fun, weird B-movie romp here.
