Overview
BLACK RELAY is a short-form sci-fi horror experience from Sandrotten Studios, released on October 30, 2026. You step into the boots of a soldier sent to a remote planet where a three-person exploration crew has vanished.
The outpost is abandoned, the relay towers are dead, and your mission is to find the crew, restore the generators, and bring the communication network back online—all while figuring out what went wrong.
Highlights
- Atmospheric Horror: The game leans into psychological horror and isolation, with a perpetually dark planet and disturbing imagery that includes corpses and gore.
- Resource Management: You'll need to keep an eye on your oxygen levels and your laser pistol's battery as you explore, adding tension to every step.
- Navigation Challenges: The environment is designed to test your navigation skills, making it easy to get lost in the dark—so stay sharp.
Who It's For
If you enjoy short, story-driven horror games that focus on atmosphere rather than combat-heavy action, BLACK RELAY is worth a look. It's a single-player experience that you can play at your own pace, with no timed input requirements, making it accessible for players who prefer a more relaxed but still tense exploration.
The sci-fi setting and the mystery of the missing crew will appeal to fans of psychological horror and walking simulators.
