Daedalus – a thriller episodic adventure hard sci-fi video game taking place in 2112 aboard the space station orbiting Venus. In Daedalus, you play as astronaut Matt Cramer, an engineer aboard the Daedalus Space Station. Over the past year, the Daedalus crew has conducted an orbital exploration of Venus and the Sun, and now only thirty days remain until the next crew rotation. Spirits are high and everyone seems eager to return home, but Matt’s dreams are plagued by prophetic nightmares of death and destruction. As the days count down to zero, strange events unfold. Crewmates succumb to accidents or rumors of murder, communications go dark, and everyone grows increasingly on edge as conspiracy theories abound. Though help is on its way, Matt must survive until it arrives.

Daedalus Space Station (DSS) is an international space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Venus orbit. Its first components launched into orbit in 2089.
Daedalus serves as a research laboratory in which crewmembers conduct experiments in biology, physics, astronomy, and performs studies of the Venus’ atmosphere and surface as well as research on the Sun. The DSS is suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to Venus’ low orbit. Daedalus maintains an orbit by means of reboost maneuvers using its engines or that of visiting spacecraft. Based on the active number of research projects, Daedalus is able to maintain a range of orbits from 0 to 24.04 per day. Daedalus construction was launched decades before the United Governments emerged, by the 12th countries with the largest Space Programs.
According to the original Memorandum of Understanding between NASA, ESA, Roskosmos, CNSA, ISRO, JAXA, CSA, UKSA, CSAE, CSIRO and ISA, the Daedalus Space Station was intended to be a laboratory, observatory and factory on Venus orbit. It was also planned to provide transportation, maintenance, and act as a staging base for possible Venus terraforming and future missions to Mercury and fossil asteroids. With the United Governments formation, it become the impersonation of the union and globalization as well as the symbol of the Golden Era of humanity.
