Details

Overview

COSMONAUT plunges players into a chilling narrative-driven horror platformer set two centuries in the future. You step into the boots of Jarobi, a rookie Deep Space Reconnaissance (DSR) contractor. Your mission: board the S-class research vessel Diogenes, which vanished 80 years ago in the vast Kuiper Belt. Once a beacon of humanity's early space exploration, the Diogenes now drifts, a silent testament to ambition and perhaps, disaster. The game challenges you to explore this derelict futuristic environment, utilizing unique zero-gravity movement mechanics that allow you to traverse any surface. Survival hinges on your ability to overcome various puzzles and challenges presented by the dangers of deep space habitation. Players are armed and must decide whether to merely defend themselves or to confront and eliminate the threats lurking within the ship.
