// A SCI-FI MYSTERY //

The year is 2125.

A mysterious signal is detected, emanating from an exoplanet 4 light years from Earth. An expedition is sent to investigate.

Seven years later, you wake on-board a ship orbiting an alien world. You are A.I.D.E.N., an artificial intelligence, invoked by an emergency protocol as a last resort.

The ship is damaged. The crew are either dead or missing.

As you investigate to uncover past events, you find the stakes are much higher than you ever imagined.
