Overview
Outpost 13 is a single-player point-and-click action-adventure game that draws heavy inspiration from classic 70s, 80s, and 90s science fiction and horror films like Alien, The X-Files, Evil Dead, and The Thing. Players step into the paws of Fen, a dog stationed at an outpost on the planet Achelous IV. After an encounter with an alien biological agent, Fen becomes bonded with an extraterrestrial entity known as Tantalus. The core objective is to escape Achelous by instilling enough fear in the human crew to force them to abandon their long-term mission and depart for the nearest spaceport.
