About the Story

A terminal-based sci-fi mystery

An immersive puzzle-mystery game inspired by Return of the Obra Dinn, Type Help and Immortality played entirely through a simulated computer terminal. You are an investigator sitting miles away, connected remotely to a dead station. Your only tools are the command line, a scattered archive of corrupted files, and your own powers of deduction.

Authentic Terminal Interface: Immerse yourself in a tactile CLI environment. Type commands, navigate directories, and unlock the mysteries within.
Non-Linear Investigation: There is no hand-holding. Explore the file system at your own pace. Discover audio logs, personal journals and mission reports in any order to reconstruct the narrative.
Atmospheric Horror: Experience a chilling sci-fi horror story through vivid text descriptions where the scariest things are what you don't see.

Incoming transmission...
The Niflheim station was a research outpost on the edge of known space. They were looking for signs of life. They found something else.

As you restore the corrupted data, you will uncover a tale of paranoia, betrayal and a containment breach that went horribly wrong. But be warned: as you stare into the abyss of the Niflheim's data core, something might just be staring back.

Can you solve the case before the connection is lost?
