Downward Spiral: Horus Station takes players through a lost vessel abandoned by its crew with a complete focus on visual storytelling for single player or two player online co-op. Players will have to piece together the plot through observation and interpretation as they navigate the derelict space station's environmental storytelling, accompanied by the electronic ambient soundtrack composed by platinum selling HIM frontman Ville Valo. In addition to Horus Station’s story campaign, there’s eight-player PvP and PvE multiplayer modes including Deathmatch, Horde and Survivor challenges.

You wake up in an abandoned space station, what happened? how did you get there? its up to you to figure it out...
The story is told via enviromental clues, you see dead bodies, destroyed robots, part of the station broken apart out the window, and a planet close by...
While the game has an option to make it a "walking simulator", i chose the middle option to have enemies, and there are a few of them, some different from each other where you have to take different approaches to kill them, you get a bunch of weapons, but the game really is a story told by looking around and piecing it together.
The movement method is really well done, you are in 0g, so you have to pull yourself to where you want to go, later on you get a grappling hook to make traversing the station easier, then again a bit later you get an "air pistol" that lets you gain momentum and move towards where you aim it.
The environment is great, the audio excellent, and the visuals quite good, as is the story telling, while it felt a bit repetitive at times, it goes with the theme.
While the ambience is eerie, this is not a horror game, there are no jump scares or anything like that.
Took me a little more than 4hrs to finish this game solo, and what a good experience it was, i finished it all in 1 session and im glad i did.
Recommended for anyone wanting a desolate and mysterious experience.
