EMBARK on an exploratory single player adventure presented in five captivating acts encompassing monumental moments, laid-back exploration, occasional white-knuckle action, moments of heartfelt companionship, and a helping of existential dread.
SOAK in an sea of music and 3D sound, with a breathtaking score by Scntfc.
DEPLOY to the surface of a mythic ocean planet: skim up undiscovered coastlines, inspect indigenous flora and fauna, adapt to new perils, and problem-solve tough obstacles using your jett's array of scientific tools.
INVESTIGATE the source of 'the hymnwave', an interstellar invitation that propelled a people to look beyond their troubled skies and across the sea of stars, for salvation.
RENDEZVOUS at 'Ground Control' and get to know fellow scouts in relaxed first-person sequences, as the scouts struggle together to “satisfy ‘Jao's directives’” and acquit themselves with honor.
ENDURE hardships, evade pursuers and grapple with massive 'kolos' creatures by navigating hazards and out-pacing or out-smarting adversaries.
DELVE DEEPER to explore an expansive mysterious world where the open-world immersive sim elements linger on the horizon.
In the 2021 campaign “The Far Shore” you’ll step into the snug space boots of scout and 'anchorite' Mei and explore a richly imagined new A/V universe from Superbrothers . Be the first to deploy to a mythic ocean planet. Take the helm of a 'jett' and explore a vast unknown - skim low over waves, roar up pristine coastlines and carve through otherworldly woods. Soak in an ocean of music and 3D sound, with a breathtaking score by composer Scntfc. Adapt to an intricate, systemic open world and persevere through adversity alongside an intimate ensemble cast in this story of courage, wonder and regret.
The 2023 campaign “Given Time” takes place 3 years after the events of the original campaign's ending, as Mei arises from torpor into Ground Control, which is still in hibernation with only one other scout awake, and a weathered jett awaiting outside.
