Description
Xenosis, a story driven sci-fi action/exploration/survival game with a top down 2D retro inspired style. You are a deep space salvage hunter, who has discovered the remains of the starship “Carpathian”, thought destroyed on a deep space mission nearly 50 years ago on the planet Epsilon Eridani. How did it get here? What happened to it? You know that the data core housed in the ships AI will be worth a lifetime of credits to the right buyer, so you dock with the ship to retrieve it. You only hope that the ship is empty… surely nothing can be alive after so long? Fight, Scavenge, Craft... do what you need to survive
