Overview
Step aboard the Orpheus, a colony ship on a century-long journey to Tau Ceti G. Awakened decades early from cryogenic stasis, you find yourself one of only 27 survivors out of the original 100 passengers. The ship is decaying, emergencies are constant, and a chilling mystery surrounds the fate of the missing 73 souls. Developed by Steven Gann, 27 Survivors plunges players into a first-person narrative horror experience that channels the spirit of classic sci-fi while embracing a challenging, unforgiving gameplay philosophy reminiscent of 80s arcade titles.
