Left abandoned after a terrible – and no doubt – embarrassing incident, Andy Kelly investigates what happened in the Linux Format Space Tower…
Drifting somewhere between the Earth and the Moon, the lunar transfer station Tacoma lies empty and abandoned. An incident has forced the crew to evacuate and you, Amy Ferrier, have been sent to investigate and recover its omnipresent AI, Odin. But even though the six people who ran the station are long gone, their presence is felt all around you.
Venturis, the corporation that owns Tacoma, has 3D recordings of every second of the crew’s year aboard the station, which you’ve been granted access to. And it’s through these ghostly memories that you’ll learn about the people who lived and worked there before the accident. It’s a mystery that grabs hold of you the instant your magnetic boots clamp to the station, and never lets go.
When you first float into Tacoma’s zero gravity hub, a procession of bulkhead doors open one by one to reveal a long, rotating corridor. It’s an evocative introduction to the station, and an early example of the game’s exquisite world-building.
