WHAT IS THE GAME ABOUT?

Plot: Humanity stands on the brink of destruction: Earth has been captured by aliens. Only a bold and decisive step can prevent catastrophe. A secret weapon hidden deep beneath the surface of Venus holds the power to change the course of war. Success of your mission determines the fate of civilization.

You’ll dive into the events of humanity’s greatest space expedition ever, becoming a participant in an international mission to Venus — mankind’s final hope. As a biologist-assistant named Gardener, initially you'll take care of plants aboard the ship. Soon, however, you discover that the true purpose of your mission is far deeper and more complicated.

The team finds itself in complete chaos: communication with Mission Control breaks down, and control over the situation is lost. The only chance lies in penetrating deep into Venus’ underground complexes, exposing conspiracies, and revealing the terrifying truth concealed by the government.
