A mission to the Gliese 581 system has confirmed the existence of six planets. As the probe approached the most earth like one, a single transmission was received. When a follow-up was sent two years later, there was no further recorded transmissions. Scientists believe that they have finally deciphered the initial transmission - an invitation to explore the planet and learn about it's fate. Because of the expense and difficulty of creating warps to send probes to other star systems, a small ship was sent with enough gear to allow five more probes to be built in orbit around the planet. Using tachyonic quantum links, you are able to send down a probe, and explore an area of the planet. As you explore you find floating talismans that provide a segment of another document, and you must find all the talismans in one area to know where to explore next. What happened to the people of this planet? What secrets will they share? Can you find the answer?
Screenshot from the intro I've been working on. Almost tempted to turn it into a level as well, but worried that would affect the immersion of the rest of the game.
