SCS deORBIT
The slow paced, depressing, hardcore, survival experience you’ve always wanted!
SCS deORBIT is a non-linear, non-combat first person game with heavy reliance on exploration, a slight horror vibe, permadeath, limited saves and some puzzles. You wake up in a semi-destroyed space colony, power is out, oxygen is running low and you must make your way out by smashing, repairing, discovering alternate paths and improvising on the spot. Four story lines are intertwined but it is only up to you to discover what brought you here, and only up to you to get out alive.

Ok lad so i've completed the game and here is what i can say.
The game is good.I really enjoyed the gameplay especially the zero g touch that was cool.
Its a hardcore survival game so yeah its dark and once you start its hard but youll get the hang of it .
Of course it has its down sides like for example you move a little slowly in the zero G or maybe i didnt figure out how to be
faster i'm not sure about that there are some really minor bugs that i think will be patched so in the end.
The game is a hardcore depressing survival with a interessting gameplay its a bit hard but im tired of games
acting as if im a toddler so if you consider yourself a real gamer want to get home and play something dark alone
and enjoy yourself a challenge i say the game is worth it 9/10

It's a great podcast game. It is not easy, but I find it relaxing. Sometimes it can get a little slow when I can't figure a puzzle out, but listening to your fav show while repairing something in space really makes you feel like you are an engineer in his element.

I actually don't mind the games lag. I beat the game and it was quite challenging. The zero g made it feel more like space. I reallly had to think when it came to the puzzles. It actually felt like a horror game even though it doesn't have jumpscares. The feeling of absolute issolation was there as well as an amazing atmosphere. I really liked it.

I just jumped in to check it out.
Here is what I have to say to those who said
" Why did I buy it?"
***This is not a game for CASUALS***
***I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A GAME FOR CASUALS.***
Just like some other guy said this is Space Dark Souls.
No hand holding no bottle feeding.
This has the most accurate simulation of Zero-G Physics I've ever seen. You actually float and hit the wall and respond accordingly, my brain feels good.
I will update as I spend some time in the game for now just wanted to clarify that you shoudn't waste your hard earned 6$ in this game if your expecting something easy.
Or you know...just use EZ Mode. Filthy casuals.

This game is so interesting... I played it before it's release as beta and now its even better. Survival, puzzle, mystery, indie, horror are some of the elements u find in it. The storyline is taking place in space where you have to find your way out by solving puzzles. There are no clues on what to do. Your brain is your only companion and with patience i am sure you will solve it. Zero gravity effect seems real and its hard to control it at the beginning. It's difficult cause you must discover alone what to do and quite challenging to survive untill you run out of oxygen.

This is one of the most hardcore expericenses I have ever played. It just drops you in BAM!
What has happened in this place? Everyone is gone. I explore for an hour and find the "Construction" level. Dark and unfriendly place full of loot ? I explore more and find a way jurry rig all the lights on. Now I can proceed but two aliens kill me.
I start again. I look more thorowly in Filter Room 1 and notice a vent that I can open with an old crowbar I found. I am in outer space now. In the small window before the sun sets I managed to light some projectors and now I can navigate the darkness.
So if you like to discover things on your own there is a lot to discover here. My first playthrough had me solving the training puzzles in linear fashion. My second playtrough had me exploring the outside of the asteroid in an open world style. This game has a lot to offer if you put the time in to figure things out.
